Kings, Aces Cracked and Nut Flush on the Bubble
Moments after the beginning of the hand-for-hand procedure, three players were all-in and at risk at three different tables.
The first player was Camille Rospars under the gun with 105,000 against Teddy Ramat in the hijack.
Camille Rospars: K♦Q♦
Teddy Ramat: K♥K♠
The board of 10♠5♣2♥5♦7♦ changed nothing and Rospars was eliminated.
At another table, Mayeul Toulemont moved all-in for 91,000 from middle position and the chip leader Valentin Pallix called from the big blind.
Mayeul Toulemont: A♦A♠
Valentin Pallix: K♣10♦
Toulemont was on his way to double up with aces, but a cruel A♦J♥Q♣ dashed his hopes. The K♥7♦ completed the board and he was eliminated as well.
Finally, Pablo Garcia Alba in middle position fired two barrels on 2♠2♥5♣K♣ and was called by John Thao in the big blind who jammed on the Q♣ river.
With 255,000 behind, Garcia Alba called with K♠7♠ but ran into Thao's nut flush with A♣10♣ and was eliminated as well.
