Mario Concepcion Cracks Aces to Survive

Level 29
Blinds: 60,000/120,000/120,000
Total Entrants: 944
Players Remaining: 8

Mario Concepcion was all-in for 1,355,000 in the big blind and at risk against Samy Dubonnet in the small blind.

Concepcion: KJ
Dubonnet: AA

Concepcion was in rough shape, but the KK8 flop vaulted him ahead as he vaulted up from his seat at the sight of the flop.

Dubonnet picked up a flush draw on the 4 turn, and that flush came in on the J river, but it also gave Concepcion a boat to secure the unlikely double.

Samy Dubonnet – 4,075,000
Mario Concepcion – 2,830,000
