PatrickCole

Niveau 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kestutis Jungevicius jammed all in in the small blind and was called by Igor Pihela in the big blind.

Kestutis Jungevicius: A♥5♦
Igor Pihela: 6♦6♥

The flop of 5♥4♥3♥ gave Jungevicius a straight draw and the nut flush draw, and Pihela an open-ended straight flush draw.

Pihela's pocket pair made a straight on the 7♣ turn, leaving Jungevicius drawing to only a heart. The J♣ river confirmed Jungevicius's exit from the tournament.

Just as that hand was finishing, Antoine Saout was eliminated in 24th place at a nearby table.

There are 23 players left and the three table redraw has been completed.
