Description
We report the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting a subgiant star with an orbital period of 6.87-days thanks to public photometric data from the Kepler space mission and new radial velocity observations obtained by the SOPHIE spectrograph. The planet KOI-428b with a radius of 1.17+/-0.04R_Jup_ and a mass of 2.2+/-0.4M_Jup_, orbits around a F5IV star with R*=2.13+/-0.06R_{sun}_, M*=1.48+/-0.06M_{sun} and Teff=6510+/-100K. The star KOI-428 is the largest and the most evolved star discovered so far with a transiting planet
