Bernard Boutboul Eliminated in 6th Place ($33,600)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Andrei Daniliuk opened to 600,000 from the button and Ankit Ahuja three-bet to 1,900,000 from the small blind. Bernard Boutboul called off from the big blind for his last 700,000 and Daniliuk got out of the way leaving Boutboul all in and at risk against Ahuja.
Bernard Boutboul: J♣8♣
Ankit Ahuja: K♥K♦
Boutboul picked up a lot of equity in the form of an open-ended straight draw on the 9♠10♥A♣ flop. He was unable to make his straight on the 6♠ turn or 5♥ river and was forced to settle for sixth place while Ahuja continued to close the gap between himself and chip leader Ivan Govorov.
