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.

Joris Ruijs: A♣Q♠

Moukawem remained ahead through the turn on a board of J♣K♠7♦K♦ and was a card away from a double-up, but Ruijs spiked the A♠ on the river to make aces-up. Moukawem flung his arms in the air in frustration and let out a loud sigh as he stormed to the exit.

Smolka quickly called, but his cards hit the muck in defeat when Vinaya revealed A♥J♥ for trip aces.
