Tyler Foran

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Daniel De Sousa Custodio opened 30,000 in early position, and Luis Rodriguez flatted on the button before Istvan Pilhofer put in a three-bet to 95,000 from the big blind. Custodio mucked, but Rodriguez jammed for 486,000. Pilhofer called.

Luis Rodriguez: 8♣8♠
Istvan Pilhofer: Q♠Q♣

Pilhofer was in great shape as the J♠7♣4♦ flop hit the felt. The 2♦ landed on the turn, changing nothing but Pilhofer couldn't dodge the river as the 8♥ completed the board.

Pilhofer had about 79,000 remaining after the hand and was seen exiting the tournament shortly after.

Meli Sent to the Rail

Tyler Foran

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Matei Lupascu raised 30,000 in middle position, and Maria Konnikova called next to act before Samuel Fournier three-bet 125,000 on the button. The 2023 UKIPT champion Vincent Meli deliberated for a few moments before pushing his last 102,000 across the line from the big blind, and both Lupascu and Konnikova got out of the way.

Vincent Meli: K♣2♣
Samuel Fournier: 9♦8♦

Meli was ahead with his king-high, however, the Q♥8♣4♥ flop gave Fournier a pair of eights to take the lead. The 3♦ turn and 7♠ river were no help as Meli stepped away from the table.
