Celmins Leaves With Cracked Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alina Paliahoshka open-raised in the cutoff, and Baptiste Caim tossed in a three-bet to 24,000 on the button. Matiss Celmins then moved in his stack of 42,000 from the small blind, and Paliahoshka reshoved for 77,000.
Caim asked for a count, but quickly got out of the way when he heard the correct amount.
Matiss Celmins: A♥A♣
Alina Paliahoshka: Q♦Q♣
Celmins looked to be in great shape to double up, but Paliahoshka found a set on the Q♠3♦2♠ flop to take a massive lead. No ace appeared on the J♣ turn or 3♥ river, cementing Celmins' elimination.
