El Kallas Flips for His Tournament Life
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Thierry Gogniat raised to 12,000 from middle position, Patrick El Kallas three-bet jammed for 107,000 from the small blind and Gogniat called.
Patrick El Kallas: K?K? 
Thierry Gogniat: A?Q?
El Kallas had a monster and the K?J?6? gave him top set. The 3? turn and 9? river failed to complete Gogniat's straight draw and El Kallas doubled up.
