Raul Mestre Eliminated in 4th Place (€244,000)

Raul Mestre - 4th Place
Raul Mestre - 4th Place

Raul Mestre found the last of his chips in preflop with the {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. He was up against the {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov and at risk of elimination. Fortunately for him, he held the best hand going into it.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and kept Mestre in the lead. Katchalov did pick up a gutshot straight draw to go along with his live cards in hopes of eliminating Mestre.

The turn brought the {9-Spades}, which was the last card Mestre wanted to see. It gave Katchalov an unbeatable straight and left Mestre drawing stone dead. The river card was unseen as the cameras cut away from the board in order to get the reactions from the players.
