Lucina Spikes an Ace to Stay Alive
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Xiaohua Yang raised to 320,000 from middle position and Sebastien Lucina shoved for 1,635,000 from the hijack. After it folded back to Yang, he made the call.
Sebastien Lucina: A?J? 
Xiaohua Yang: K?9?
The flop od K?6?7? put Yang ahead with a pair of kings, but the A? turn improved Lucina to a pair of aces to move back in front. The 5? came on the river and Lucina had doubled through Yang.
