After being crippled on the bubble to just a few big blinds, Michael Korovine has not only managed to rebuild his stack, but has actually taken over the chip lead on this final table. He recently doubled his stack when his pocket Jacks flopped a set versus Joseph Abou Khalil, who turned three of a kind in the hand.
In the most recent hand, Michael opened to 40,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a 3bet from Andreas Loubounakis to 150,000, who was in the button position. He replied with an all-in of 364,000, and found a call.

With no danger on the board, Michael scooped the huge pot and took over the chip lead.
