Chevalier Cracks Aces to Send Geilich Out in 97th Place
Pierre Chevalier opened with a raise from middle position and 2013 PokerStars UKIPT Marbella Main Event champ Ludovic Geilich shoved his short stack — what looked to be approximately 30,000 — from the small blind. Chevalier made the call and after play concluded at all other tables the cards were turned on their back.
Chevalier: 
Geilich: 
Spectators surrounded the table, and some rumblings reverberated throughout the room when the cards were announced. No one seemed surprised that the short stack got it in with aces, but it sounded like some players were excited over Chevalier's hand, which was some might say is good for cracking aces.
That said, you can imagine the excitement that shot through the room when the flop fell 
to give Chevalier both an open-ended straight and flush draw. Needless to say, Geilich was not thrilled and his face suggested his days were numbered.
Sure enough, the dealer burned and turned the 
to give Chevalier the straight and leave Geilich drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the river, and Geilich left empty handed in 97th place, which sets up the official bubble.
Just one more player needs to go before the money is reach.
