Brutal River Halts Boellis' Future in the Tournament
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nenad Dukic made it 80,000 from the hijack with Xuming Qi calling out of the cutoff. Giuliano Boellis squeezed all in from the button for 780,000, which forced Dukic to fold. Qi called for over half his stack and the cards were turned over.
Giuliano Boellis: A♣Q♣ 
Xuming Qi: A♠10♠
Boellis had the better kicker with his ace, and looked likely to score a huge double up. The A♥K♠8♦ flop gave both players top pair. The 3♠ hit the turn, and the 10♦ appeared on the river to give Qi two pair. Boellis was out, and Qi moved up to around 1,600,000.
