Lina Schenk kicked off the action with a raise to 80,000 from the button, only to be met with an all-in shove from Rachid El Yaacoubi in the big blind, who had her well-covered. Without hesitation, Schenk made the call, and the two prepared for a showdown.
Lina Schenk: A♠K♣
Rachid El Yaacoubi: 8♥8♣
In this classic flip situation, Schenk was hoping for some help from the board. Unfortunately for her, the dealer revealed 2♥4♥7♦9♣7♠, offering no improvement to her hand. With that, Schenk’s tournament run came to an abrupt end as she was sent to the rail, while El Yaacoubi’s pocket eights held strong.
