A pot of 40,000 had been built by the river with the completed board reading Diamond JSpade 10Spade 3Club 7Spade 6.

Jean LeBlond bets 25,000 from early position and gets raised to 65,000 by Josh Arieh in middle position. Leblond quickly moves all in and Arieh is left to a decision.

With about 45,000 behind, most of Arieh’s stack is already committed to the pot. After a minute or so of thought, he makes the call.

“The nuts,” says LeBlond, rolling over Spade ASpade Q for the ace-high flush.

The still lucky-feeling newlywed mucks his hand and wishes his opponent good luck as he leaves the table.

Jean Leblond – 300,000
Josh Arieh – eliminated
