El Yousfi Busts in Second Hand

Level 1 : 5,000/10,000, 5,000 ante
Action at the tables
Action at the tables

Right after sitting down, Said El Yousfi was eliminated in the second hand he played, as confirmed by Chris Dowling. The Irishman even snapped a picture and it all went in after a betting war on the flop of {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. There was a four-bet preflop and El Yousfi got it in with {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for top pair and the nut flush draw.

His sole opponent, Roberto Duek, had four-bet clicked on the flop and looked him up with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The {10-Hearts} turn and {A-Spades} river completed the board and El Yousfi was gone, the screens now show 113 out of 114 players remaining.

Good Start for Djerberg

Level 1 : 5,000/10,000, 5,000 ante

On the turn of a board of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts}, Yigit Aktulga bet 110,000 and picked up a single caller in Jan Djerberg. The latter checked back on the {9-Diamonds} river when a possible flush arrived, but his {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} still ended up as the best hand to see the Dane rake in a nice pot right away.
