Limped Pot Leads to Double Elimination

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Imad Derwiche
Imad Derwiche

Several people had limped in when Imad Derwiche made it 24,000 in the big blind. Gergo Nagy called in the hijack, and Andreas Thelin did so on the button.

Derwiche bet the pot of 84,000 on the 5♣7♠K♣ flop. Nagy called all-in for 47,500, and Thelin bought a turn as well. Derwiche then jammed his stack of 160,000 in on the 9♣ turn, being snap-called by Thelin.

Gergo Nagy: A♥K♠Q♠5♠ All in
Imad Derwiche: K♥J♥10♣7♣ All in
Andreas Thelin: A♣J♦8♣3♦

Thelin had turned the nut flush. Derwiche and Nagy still had outs to a full house, but the A♠ river did not pair the board, eliminating them both just before dinner.

Small blind Anton Suarez and Hokyiu Lee in the cutoff arrived on a completed board of 9♦10♥J♠3♣7♣. Suarez checked to Lee, who fired a pot-sized bet of 280,000.

Suarez wasted no time in calling, instantly flicking in a chip. Lee could only show two pair with Q♥Q♣J♦3♥ as Suarez showed K♥Q♠10♦7♠ for the nut straight.

Youness Barakat
Youness Barakat

Picking up the action on an 8♠10♠5♥ flop, Espen Myrmo placed a bet from the big blind, after which Youness Barakat announced his all-in under the gun. Maxi Lehmanski folded in the small blind before Myrmo snap-called.

Youness Barakat: A♥A♣J♦7♦ All in
Espen Myrmo: K♥10♥10♦4♠

Barakat let out an expletive, and he was right to do so as the J♣3♦ runout did not improve his hand. The Tallinn €5K Million winner was sent to the rail while Myrmo eclipsed four starting stacks.
