Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Mathieu Jacqmin raised to 12,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 43,500 by Mike Gorodinsky on the button. The blinds both folded, Jacqmin just called, and the flop came out . Jacqmin dropped in a big stack of orange T5,000 chips and Gorodinsky, who only had 25,000 or so back, called off.

Jacqmin:
Gorodinsky:

Neither player made much of anything, though Jacqmin did pick up a flush draw. The turn had no effect on the hand, while the actually paired Jacqmin to give him the best hand.

Gorodinsky was eliminated in 28th place for $14,021, and if his post-elimination tweet proves accurate, he'll return tomorrow for the start of the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship.
