Vinnicombe Scores Two Eliminations

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Joep Raemaekers was seen leaving the tournament area but was kind enough to relay what had happened:

Alan Vinnicombe raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Raemaekers shoved from the middle position for 7,400. Massimo Bruno shoved too but for around 12,000 from the button. Action folded back to Vinnicombe who made the call.

Joep Raemaekers: {a-}{q-}
Massimo Bruno: {5-}{5-}
Alan Vinnicombe: {a-}{j-}

The flop came {a-}{a-}{5-} for Bruno to hit a full house immediately and Raemaekers and Vinnicombe trip aces.

The turn was a {10-} which didn't change things but the river completed the board with a {j-} to give Vinnicombe the bigger full house and double knock-out.
