Geilich Falls to Christoforou

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

The player in the under-the-gun position limped in and Ludovic Geilich raised to 21,500 from the hijack. Andreas Christoforou three-bet to 65,000 in the cutoff and action folded back to the initial raiser who folded. Geilich called.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Geilich now shoved for the 84,600 he had behind. Christoforou contemplated his options for a while and then flicked in the chip for the call.

Ludovic Geilich: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Andreas Christoforou: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Geilich was still ahead when the cards went on their backs but the {q-Clubs} on the turn meant that only a six could save his tournament life.

The river completed the board with the {10-Clubs} which meant Geilich was done for now. He can still reenter until the end of the break after this level so the partypoker pro might be back later on.
