November Niner Pierre Neuville Eliminated

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Pierre Neuville
Pierre Neuville

Two time EPT Main Event runner up and current November Niner Pierre Neuville has been eliminated from the tournament. Non other than high roller Mustapha Kanit was the one responsible for the Belgians departure.

Kanit made it 2,000 under the gun and the player on the button called. Pierre Neuville in the small blind squeezed all in for 16,800 and the big blind instantly folded. Kanit thought about it for a bit and called, the button folded.

Mustapha Kanit: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Pierre Neuville: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The flop came {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, a small disaster for Neuville who got severely out flopped. He had one eight left to hit on top of his gutshot, but Kanit had a pair plus flush draw. Neuville kept his hopes up but Kanit said it wasn't going to happen: "I'm gonna win this one."

The {Q-Clubs} on the turn sealed the deal for Kanit and the {Q-Hearts} on the river was there just to make things official. Neuville shook hands with Kanit and wandered off, the 72-yeah old routinier probably was on his way to play another tournament.

Ferro Ships on Yurasov

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jani Sointula raised to 2,000 from middle position and received four callers, including Dmitry Yurasov in the cutoff and Afonso Ferro in the small blind. The flop fell {4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and both blinds checked back to Sointula who did the same. Yurasov took this opportunity to bet 4,400. Ferro quickly called and and the remaining two players, including Sointula, folded.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Ferro took the lead with 8,200. Yurasov stuck around and the {k-Spades} finished off the board. Ferro moved all in on the river for his last 21,500, sending Yurasov into the tank for well over two minutes. In the end, Yurasov folded his cards and Ferro pulled in the pot.

Bojang and McDonald Tricked

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The player in the one seat limped in and Mike McDonald in the cutoff followed suit by tossing in a single chip to call. Ismael Bojang in the small blind was having none of it and bumped it up to 4,300. The limper called and McDonald over called.

All three of them checked on {2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, only for the {8-Clubs} to pair the board on the turn. Bojang made a bet of 6,800 and without seemingly having too much trouble making his decision, the player in early position cut out 19,000 and slid them forward. McDonald gave the gentleman a stare down like only he does it, but followed that up with a fold.

"You flopped a set again?" Bojang said while in the motion of folding his hand. "Can you show one time?" McDonald added as Bojang's cards hit the muck. The player obliged and showed his {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for not much of anything. Bojang and McDonald went quiet after that.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, and both players checked to see the {8-Spades} land on the river. Nastasi checked, and Ainsworth checked.

Nastasi tabled the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, and Ainsworth couldn't beat it.
