Time's Up for Chalot
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Leo Worthington-Leese opened from early position to 16,000 and Benjamin Chalot called from the hijack. Vasyl Pidhrusnyi three-bet to 55,000 on the button, and only Chalot paid to see the flop.
The 8♣6♣6♦ was fanned and Chalot made a quick check. Pidhrusnyi bet 35,000 and Chalot raised to 90,000. Pidhrusnyi used a timebank, before moving all in covering Chalot's remaining 130,000.
Chalot counted out his stack, and moved chips across the line to call and showed his pocket nines.
Benjamin Chalot: 9♣9♠
Vasyl Pidhrusnyi: J♥J♠
Pidhrusnyi peeled his pocket jacks, and Chalot looked to the board for help.
He couldn't turn things around on the 8♦ turn and 5♣ river, and he was sent to the rail with just under 90 players remaining in the main event.
