Gerardo Amezola Eliminated in 12th Place ($10,451)

Toogood32

Niveau 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Just before blinds went up, a massive three way pot took place, changing the landscape of the final two tables. After a raise from the button, Brett Coltman, to 1,100,000, Zyad Qasem called and so did Gerardo Amezola in the big blind.

The flop came down and it was checked to Brett Coltman who bet 2,200,000. Qasem (small blind) called before Amezola moved all in for 5,275,000 chips. Coltman then moved all in himself for 18,850,000. Qasem went into the tank for at least 90 seconds before calling and cards were tabled.

Gerardo Amezola:
Brett Coltman:
Zyad Qasem:

Coltman was well ahead with his king kicker and the turn card and river sealed his double up through Qasem while also knocking Amezola out in 12th place for $10,451.

Qasem said to Coltman ''If you didn't ask for a count, I fold'', referring to what Coltman asked Qasem before he moved all in over the Amezola jam.
