Le Vaillant Vanishes in Four-Way Clash

Boris Kolev opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 27,000. The action folded to Otto Lemke on the button who called and both blinds, Alexandre Le Vaillant and Mickael Robalo, followed suit.

The flop fell 5♦3♠7♦ and Le Vaillant was first to act. He took this opportunity to lead with an all-in bet worth 101,000. Big blind Robalo saved his final 70,000 chips and let his hand go before Kolev called. Lemke's cards joined the muck and the two remaining players had a showdown.

Alexandre Le Vaillant: K♦10♦
Boris Kolev: 7♥7♣

Le Vaillant had flopped a flush draw and two overcards but his overcards were not live against the set of Kolev. Le Vaillant's fate was sealed as the turn and river were both black cards, 4♣J♣. He fled the scene and his seat was quickly taken by another player.
