Nakache Hits the Rail
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Elie Nakache was already all-in for his last few chips from the cutoff. He was against Alexander Sokolovsky from an early position and Ronaldo Carrera in the big blind, who were playing for a 1,500 side pot.
The 10♦3♦10♥ flop saw Carrera check, and Sokolovsky bet 600. Carrera called.
A 4♥ turn saw Carrera check-fold after Sokolovsky bet 3,400, leaving Nakache to see his fate against Sokolovsky.
Elie Nakache: Q♣10♣
Aleksander Sokolovsky: K♣J♦
Nakache had flopped trip tens and the Q♦ river only improved him further, allowing him to remain in the tournament.
He folded the next few hands, keeping hold of his last few blinds a little while longer but was soon seen walking away from the tournament area.
