Ropert Eliminated by Groenendijk
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Corentin Ropert pushed a short stack of around ten blinds from the hijack and was called by Julien Groenendijk on the button.
Corentin Ropert: Q♦9♦
Julien Groenendijk: 8♦8♠
The K♠6♣4♦5♦ turn gave Ropert a flush draw on top of his two overcards but Groenendijk was the one to improve to a straight with the 7♥ river.
