Elie Saad Eliminated in 8th Place (€36,410)
Level 33
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Guillaume Nolet raised to 600,000 in the hijack and Marco Gambini called in the cutoff, as did Elie Saad and Atanas Malinov in the blinds.
All four players checked the J♦3♠4♠ flop. The turn was the 2♥ and Saad moved all in for 2,450,000. Malinov called, while Nolet and Gambini both folded.
Saad showed 3♥3♦ for a set and Malinov turned over J♠10♠ for a pair and flush draw. The river was the 5♠ and Malinov completed his flush to send Saad to the rail in eighth place.
"If I push on the flop, do you call?" Saad asked Malinov on his way to the exit and Malinov nodded as he stacked up the pot.
