Roller Coaster for Alves; Bourgeois Takes Everything

Maxime Taldir

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Rodrigues Alves jammed for 105,000 from early position and was called by Callum Gordon in the big blind.

Rodrigues Alves: A♣8♠ All in
Callum Gordon: A♦J♥

Both players hit two pair on 3♣7♦J♦8♣4♠, but Gordon was still in the lead so Alves was eliminated.

Moments later however, Gordon in the small blind was all-in and at risk for 370,000 against Blaise Bourgeois in the hijack.

Callum Gordon: 8♦8♠ All in
Blaise Bourgeois: K♣K♦

Gordon ran into Bourgeois' kings and after the dealer fanned a board of 9♣5♦3♣7♣K♠, he joined Alves at the cashier desk.

Migle Kriksciunaite, who was at the same table, was eliminated a few hands later.
