Letort Ousted After Brutal River
Level 16
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Thibault Letort found himself all in and at risk in a preflop confrontation against Araz Azady who had a covering stack.
Thibault Letort: A♥Q♥
Araz Azady: A♠3♠
Letort was in great shape to double up with a bigger ace but the 9♠8♠6♦ gave Azady a plethora of outs in the form of the nut-flush draw. The 8♣ turn was clean but Azady spiked a three on the 3♦ river to send Letort to the rail close in tough fashion close to the money bubble.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Antoine Labat was also eliminated.
