Mathieu Clavet
Mathieu Clavet

Ozgur Arda re-raised all in for about 45,000 on a {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} board.

Action was on Mathieu Clavet and he called with {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, needing to dodge a few outs as Arda tabled {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. The {J-Hearts}turn and {3-Hearts} river were no help to Arda and he is eliminaed.

Clavey is having a great day and is currently very close to the chip lead with about 450,000.

From middle position, Antoine Abou Khalil raised to 9,000, three times the current big blind.

Khalil tanked for a bit and then folded, showing the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flopped full house. Dalokay showed a higher boat with the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and won the pot.
