El-Yaacoubi Spikes the River For a Double Knockout

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau was all in for 170,000 from under the gun, Boris Angelov got his last 250,000 in from middle position, and Rachid El-Yaacoubi had then both covered and at risk from the big blind.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 44 All in
Boris Angelov: JJ All in
Rachid El-Yaacoubi: AK

The flop came A4Q to give El-Yaacoubi top pair, but Vaskaboinikau had hit a set. The turn was the 10, while the J river gave Angelov a set but El-Yaacoubi the nut straight as he loudly clapped his hands together while sending both Vaskaboinikau and Angelov to the rail.

Gregoire Auzoux and Robert Burlacu were also recently eliminated.
