Aissani Eliminated by Peluso to Set Up Bubble
With 85 players remaining and several tables stalling, floor staff told the dealers to stop after the current hand as hand-for-hand mode was to commence early.
During this exact hand, Francesco Delfoco busted and further all-in action unfolded. Naim Ouachekradi raised to 32,000 in the cutoff and then folded when Demosthenes Kiriopoulos bumped it up to 162,000 in the big blind.
Last but not least, Mohamed Aissani had defended the big blind against cutoff aggression by big stack Fabio Peluso. The turn showed 6♦4♥2♣9♥ and Aissani had checked. Peluso pushed all-in and Aissani tank-called all-in for around 90,000.
Mohamed Aissani: 8♣7♦
Fabio Peluso: J♠10♥
"Let's go straight," Aissani said in French table chat but bricked the 6♣ river to leave the entire table stunned.
And just like that, the field was reduced to 83 players, thus ensuring hand-for-hand play on the stone bubble.
