Balaguer Doubles Through Puccilli; Bouquet Eliminated

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich opened the action with a raise to 175,000 from middle positon and saw Adria Maria Balaguer move all in for 15.m from the button. Rui Bouquet was in the small blind with just 400,000 after he got confirmation of Balaguer's chip count he also moved all in.

With the action now on Stefano Puccilli in the small blind, he reshoved for around 5m and got a quick fold from Geilich.

Adria Maria Balaguer: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Rui Bouquet: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Stefano Puccilli: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop put Pucilli in full control with top set and was on the verge of knocking out both his opponents. The turn {2-Diamonds} gave Balaguer hope with the backdoor flush draw, and when the {5-Diamonds} wheeled off on the river, he completed his nut flush and secured a vital double. Bouquet departed the table after his pocket kings were no good and claimed his €9,500 prize money.
