Alexis Fleur Eliminated in 20th Place ($11,878)
4♣8♠6♣A♥3♥
8♣9♦10♦K♠K♥
Xixiang Luo opened the betting, and chose a size of 150,000 into a pot of 180,000. When action folded round to Alexis Fleur he shoved, and Luo snapped him off and tabled his hand instantly.
Luo showed that he had flopped incredibly well, with J♦7♣5♣5♦. This gave him the absolute nuts on the top board, with an eight-high straight, as well as an open-ended straight flush redraw. On the bottom, he had the second nut straight, losing only to queen-jack, as well as a jack-high flush redraw.
Fleur was not in great shape; his 10♣6♥6♦2♣ had flush and boat outs on the top, however he couldn't hit either that would improve Luo to a straight flush. On the other board, he needed a running full house. Fleur was not able to get there on either board, and Luo's scoop sent him home.
