Guimond Stays In the Tournament
From middle position, Ankit Ahuja opened to 20,000, and was called by Ran Azor in the cutoff. But on the button, Frank Habermann raised all in for 147,000. In the big blind, Florian Guimond called, and made Ahuja and Azor fold.
Frank Habermann: A♣K♠
Florian Guimond: J♥J♠
On 7♦4♠7♠K♣Q♣, Habermann hit a king on the turn to double up. Down to 64,000 chips, Guimond three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind after Andrei Bocharnikov opened in middle position. Bocharnikov four-bet all in to force Guimond to go all in with his 4,000 last chips.
"I'll wait a few minutes for the pay jump, one elimination is needed," said the Frenchman. He waited four or five minutes. But as there were no eliminations, he eventually called.
Florian Guimond: A♦8♠
Andrei Bocharnikov: A♠K♣
The dealer fanned a board of 5♣9♣4♠4♦9♥. Thanks to a second pair on the river, Guimond was saved by a split.
