Stephane Liger Eliminated in 39th Place ($15,693)

[user66118]

We eavesdrop on a hotly-contested preflop pot over on the middle table nearest us. There is an opening raise to 15,000, followed by a call. A third player joins the hand, reraising to 55,000, prompting an all in from Stephane Liger, who holds {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

. He is looked up by his opponent, showing down {K-?}

{K-?}

{K-?}

and putting Liger in serious danger of being eliminated.

Much to his chagrin, the board runs out dry for him, coming {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{3-?}

{10-?}

{3-?}

{9-?}

, and sending Stephane Liger to the cashier's desk early to collect his 39th place money.

One of the players mixed up in the preflop battle told us he folded pocket tens.
