Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Patrick Kennedy raised to 110,000 from the button, and Gergo Nagy defended his big blind.

On the 9♠4♣2♥ flop, Nagy check-jammed for 635,000 versus a pot bet from Kennedy, with Kennedy making the snap-call.

Gergo Nagy: 9♥9♣Q♣10♦ All in
Patrick Kennedy: A♦A♥7♠3♠

Nagy was ahead with top set nines versus Kennedy's overpair aces, and the K♥ turn and 2♦ river did not alter matters, sending Nagy a huge double-up and into the chip lead.

This marks the first piece of bad news for Kennedy the entire final day, in what looked like it could be a serene march to the title.
