Ghizaoui Takes the Lead With Double Elimination
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jamel Ghizaoui had previously chipped up significantly and added even further chips to take over the lead on the final four tables.
Guy Goossens jammed from under the gun for around 1,250,000 and Ghizaoui piled in his tower of T-500,000 chips on the button. Javier Francort called all-in out of the big blind for around 4.1 million and a three-way showdown emerged.
Guy Goossens: A♣9♦
Javier Francort: A♥K♥
Jamel Ghizaoui: A♠Q♥
The 8♣7♠3♥ flop and 2♥ turn brought Francort on the verge of a large double, but the cruel Q♠ river gave Ghizaoui the best hand and lock up a double elimination.
