Nahum Eliminates Fixari to Claim Spot Among Leaders
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Thibaut Fixari had raised his button when Gabriel Nahum made it 10,000 to go from the small blind. Fixari called, and the dealer fanned the 4♦6♠Q♠ flop.
Nahum continued for 7,500 on the flop, which Fixari called. Nahum sized up to 17,000 on the 5♣ turn, seeing Fixari flick in another call.
Nahum then pushed all in on the J♥ river. Fixari's stack of 41,700 was covered, and he needed a minute to think things through. After a while, he tossed in a single chip for a call.
Nahum showed A♦A♣ for an overpair. Fixari stood up and left the tournament area, with the dealer flipping up his Q♣10♣ to confirm the elimination.
