Three-way on a flop of 10♣10♥J♥, Filip Oles in the hijack bet 200,000. Pablo in the big blind check-raised to 575,000, then Aitor Cruz under the gun moved all-in. Oles folded, and Cruz flipped over J♠J♣ for the best full house.
Pablo, however, didn’t go all-in and still had 150,000 chips behind. Cruz, visibly disappointed when he realized his mistake, watched as Pablo seemed to have a decision to make. After tanking for five minutes and with the clock called on him, Pablo decided to call.
Pablo: Q♥8♥
Aitor Cruz: J♠J♣
Pablo was hoping for a 9♥ to complete a straight flush, queens or tens, but the turn and river ran out 8♣3♥, failing to improve his hand.
Due to his mistake, Cruz received a four-hand penalty.
Filip Oles opened from early position. Aitor Cruz in the small blind three-bet to 530,000, but Mathieu Choffardet in the big blind four-bet to 1,1500,000.
Oles then moved all-in for 1,910,000. Cruz folded and Choffardet looked at his cards before making the call.
Filip Oles: K♠K♣
Mathieu Choffardet: A♥A♠
The dealer fanned a board of 7♣4♣8♦6♥J♥ and Oles was eliminated by Choffardet's aces.
A few hands after doubling through Gandalf, Guillaume Darcourt, in the big blind, was all-in and at risk for 1,750,000 against the same player on the button.
Guillaume Darcourt: 8♣8♥
Gandalf: A♠A♦
This time, luck was on Gandalf's side as on K♠10♣10♦A♣2♥, he hit trips to eliminate Darcourt. One more elimination is now needed to reach the final table.
