Fournier Goes Runner-Runner to Eliminate Pu
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gregory Fournier checked from early position to Jiang Pu on a flop of 8♣10♣J♥. Pu then made a bet from the hijack, which Fournier raised to 35,000.
Pu shoved all in for a little over 100,000 chips and Fournier immediately called to put his opponent at risk.
Jiang Pu: A♥A♦
Gregory Fournier: K♥K♦
The Q♦ turn made Fournier open-ended, and he hit the 9♥ river to make a straight and crack Pu's aces with his kings. Both players made a picture of the runout before Pu said his goodbyes from the Main Event.
On another table, Eric Wasserson was one of the recently eliminated players.
