Francois Cuts Camarda Out of the Field
Andrew Toole open-raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Salvatore Camarda matched that bet from middle position. Christophe Francois was in the cutoff and made it 7,000, which only Camarda called.
The dealer put three queens in the middle of the table, Q♣Q♦Q♥ was the flop. Camarda promptly went all in for an overbet of 23,300. Francois looked befuddled and thought for a little bit before shrugging and making the call, putting Camarda at risk.
Salvatore Camarda: 8♠8♥
Christophe Francois: A♥J♥
Camarda flopped a full house while Francois was still searching for an ace or jack to accomplish that feat. The turn 10♠ was not one of his outs, but Francois eliminated Camarda from the tournament when the J♦ graced the felt on the river.
Camarda shook his head, gathered his belongings, and left the tournament area. Francois is now playing a nice stack of three times starting.
