Kuipers Busts to Arunan

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Pim Kuipers raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and Aeragan Arunan three-bet to 120,000 in the small blind. Kuipers then four-bet all in for what appeared to be 360,000 and Arunan quickly called.

Pim Kuipers: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}
Aeragan Arunan: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop was of no help for the Dutchman, and he was drawing dead as soon as the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn. This made the {J-Clubs} river a formality and Kuipers headed to the rail.

Hady El Asmar was down to 161,000 in chips and moved in from early position. Over on the button, Quentin Lecomte shoved for 528,000 and big blind Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe instantly called to put both players at risk.

Hady El Asmar: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Quentin Lecomte: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
