"Saav" Earns a Late Triple
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 45,000 in the pot on a board of 8♠J♣2♠10♦, "Saav" bet 25,000 from the cutoff and Pierre Thonnerieux called in the big blind. Omar Lakhdari then moved all in from under the gun, "Saav" called for 55,000, while Thonnerieux also stuck in his last 70,000.
Thonnerieux showed J♥9♣ for top pair, Lakhdari had A♥J♠ for top pair, ace-kicker, but they were both behind "Saav"'s set with 8♥8♦. The river was the 2♣ and "Saav" scooped the pot to triple up, while Lakhdari took the small side pot to send Thonnerieux to the rail.
Fabrice Body, Giuseppe Mirra, and Ringo Stimac were also recently eliminated.
