Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 10 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Pieter Aerts on the button open-shoved to 37,600 and Thomas Boivin called, leading them to a showdown.

Pieter Aerts: K♦9♣ All in
Thomas Boivin: Q♠J♦

Aerts was ahead and was looking at a potential double up when the 4♠A♦3♦ flop. The turn J♠ dashed his hopes, however, as Boivin caught a pair. With the 5♥ river not helping him improve, Aerts got eliminated from moving forward in the tournament.
