Adinolfo Eliminated by Tous Rosich

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bernard Mendy raised to 11,000 from under the gun and earned two callers in David Tous Rosich from the next seat and Alessandro Adinolfo.

The flop came 532 and it checked to Adinolfo, who bet 15,000. Mendy called only for Tous Rosich to check-shove for around 150,000. Adinolfo then also called all-in and Mendy vaulted out of his chair, exclaiming "ah putain," then folding.

Alessandro Adinolfo: 44
David Tous Rosich: QQ

The 8 turn and K river completed the board for Adinolfo to bust.

"You win?" Tous Rosich asked and Mendy replied "of course I win, king-high flush draw."

Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Romain Lewis jammed for about 44,000 in early position, and the action folded around to Mats Ullereng in the big blind as he dropped a chip to make the call.

Romain Lewis: J10
Mats Ullereng: AK

Lewis was a small underdog but the Q106 flop gave him the lead with a pair of tens. It was short-lived though as the A fell on the turn, and Lewis couldn't complete his flush draw as the Q paired the board on the river.

Following an under-the-gun raise, Alfonso Simone moved all in for 35,000 from late position and Antoine Jallon flat-called one seat across. Laurent Cessy then moved all in over the top for 75,000 from the button. The original raiser folded and Jallon tossed in a chip to make the call.

Alfonso Simone: AJ
Laurent Cessy: KK
Antoine Jallon: AJ

Simone and Jallon both had ace-jack, putting them well behind Cessy with his pocket kings. The board ran out 10Q396. Cessy held with his kings to win a huge pot, putting a dent in Jallon's stack and sending Simone to the rail.

Ankit Ahuja

Petre Ionescu opened to 9,000 from early position and was called by Harry Michel Wakem-Ngayap from two seats over. Ankit Ahuja moved all in for 62,000 from the small blind which prompted Ionescu to rejam as the bigger stack. Wakem-Ngayap folded.

Ankit Ahuja: KQ
Petre Ionescu: AK

Ahuja was dominated and found no help on the 924 flop. The A turn left him drawing dead and the 7 completed the board to mark Ahuja's exit.
