Ramzi Flips Rapinier to the Rail
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nicolas Nabet raised to 6,500 under the gun and Gianfranco Iaculli called in middle position. Emmanuel Rapinier then moved all in for 50,000 in the hijack and Salman Ramzi called on the button, while Nabet and Iaculli both got out of the way.
Emmanuel Rapinier: 10♦10♥ 
Salman Ramzi: A♣K♣
Rapinier needed his pair to hold on to keep his tournament hopes alive, but the flop brought A♦8♦6♦ to give Ramzi the lead with top pair. Rapinier picked up a flush draw, but he improved no further on the Q♣ turn or J♥ river and was sent to the rail.
