Isabel Baltazar Eliminated in 8th Place (€73,000)

Isabel Baltazar - 8th place
Isabel Baltazar - 8th place

From under the gun plus one, Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov raised to 110,000. Isabel Baltazar reraised from the next seat to 275,000 and then play folded all the way back to Katchalov. He paused for a little bit and then moved all in. Baltazar called holding the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Despite holding one of the biggest pairs possible, Katchalov tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for the mother of all pocket pairs.

The flop came down and gave both players a full house as the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} rolled off. The turn was the {K-Clubs} and then the river completed the board with the {6-Hearts}.

Baltazar failed to improve and Katchalov had her covered. That meant she was out in eighth place and took home a prize of €73,000.
