Kerrien Flips His Way into the Chip Lead

Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Anthony Kennedy opened to 80,000 from the hijack before Peter Zolnai made it 220,000 on the button. Clement Kerrien four-bet to 700,000, which pushed out Kennedy. Zolnai then jammed for 2,400,000 which sent Kerrien into the tank.
After a few minutes, the clock was called and Kerrien, who covered Zolnai, flicked in a chip to set up the biggest pot of the day.
Peter Zolnai: 10?10?
Clement Kerrien: A?K?
It was a huge flip between two of the chip leaders and the J?7?5? flop kept Zolnai ahead. He then groaned as the K? turn gave Kerrien the lead which he never relinquished as the board completed with the 7?.
