Jean “Prince” Gaspard had a tumultuous end to his day, but thanks to him the field has reached the money.

After slipping to about 180,000, Gaspard scored the final elimination of the day. A short-stacked player raised all in from under the gun for 30,000 and Gaspard three-bet to 60,000 from the button, chasing out the blinds. The UTG raiser tabled 9d9h, ahead of Gaspard’s Kh8d.

However, the board ran out KcJd3hJsKs, giving Gaspard kings full of jacks to win the pot and chip back up to 222,000.
