Dumont Jumps to Half a Million
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Denis Timofeev left the tournament area and briefly mentioned in Russian to another countryman that he had busted, and his former table showed a massive stack in front of Nicolas Dumont. According to Dumont, he had five-bet shoved with pocket kings into the pocket aces of Timofeev and got there to skyrocket up in the counts.
Soon after, Thomas Lilamand was all in for 23,000 and Dumont called from two seats over with the flop reading 
.
Thomas Lilamand: 
Nicolas Dumont: 
The 
turn and 
river run out gave Dumont the nut flush and Lilamand exited with a sigh. While that boosted Dumont to half a million, it's still not good enough for the overall lead, Mark Demirdjian still has that beat.
