Labassa Cracks Staes' Kings to Double Up

Maxime Taldir

Niveau 46 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Timothe Labassa on the button, opened to 9,000,000, half of his stack. Aliosha Staes in the small blind raised all-in, and Labassa called.

Timothe Labassa: J♦10♦ All in
Aliosha Staes: K♠K♣

Labassa needed more than the pair he hit on the 6♥5♥10♥ flop. But luck was on his side as he found trips with the 10♣ turn.

Labassa doubled up after the 8♠ river and is now the chip leader at the table.
