Down to 5,600 chips, Nino Arial 3-bet shoved after an open and a call with {a-}{9-}

Both players called the all-in before checking the {q-}{4-}{6-} flop. Jerome Sgorrano took the lead by betting 7,000 chips and the other player with chips called on a turn {q-}. The duet checked the river {3-} and the Belgian professionnal took it down with Nines against Deuces.

Nino Arial dreams of deep-running the Main Event is officially over...

Set Me Up

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jean-Michel Ploch
Jean-Michel Ploch

Jean-Michel Ploch raised it in early position and Nourredine Aitaleb was the only caller, from the small blind.

Jean-Michel fired a first barrel on a {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop and then shove 22,000 chips in a 23,000 chips pot on the turn {5-}.

After 30 seconds, Aitaleb called with {q-}{10-}... drawing dead against the {10-}{10-} of Ploch who raked a big pot after a blank river

No More Ring For Le Vaillant

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

5 minutes of nightmare and a bustout in two hands for Alexandre Le Vaillant, who won his first WSOP Circuit ring in April for €30,440... that was not his plan for the week-end.

First Alexandre put his opponent all-in by open shoving in small blind with {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The Big Blind called with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and hit the last {7-Spades} of the deck river after a {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop !

Down to 13,000 chips, Alexandre 3-bet shoved {q-}{q-} 2 minutes later in late position... the initial raiser called with {k-Spades}{q-Spades} and eliminated him after a {8-}{4-}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Spades} board...

Bad River For Anas Tadini

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The {k-}{k-}{q-} flop wasn't ideal for Anas Tadini Aces... but he managed to put all-in an opponent with 30,000 chips and {q-}{j-}.

The blank turn changed nothing but the {q-} river rejected the Morrocan in the middle of the pack.
