Level 28: 75,000 / 125,000 ante: 125,000
Yannick Jobin

Khorshad Sagor raises from under the gun and Yannick Jobin defends in the big blind, having just been moved to this spot to balance the field. Jobin check-calls twice on the K Q 3 flop as well as the 5 turn with the latter bet worth 330,000.


Sagor checks behind the 8 river and Jobin tables A 6 for the flopped nut flush.


Sagor just smirks at him and flashes his cards before placing them near the muck.


"Aces ... black aces," Sagor says and nods to the dealer, who reveals the A A indeed.


"Good turn," Sagor adds with a smile.
