Akhoullou Eliminates Birizdo at the Bubble

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Istvan Birizdo
Istvan Birizdo

The flop read {3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} in a head's up situation when Istvan Birizdo moved all in for his last 49,000 from the big blind position. Samir Akhoullou quickly called and the cards were turned over:

Istvan Birizdo: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Samir Akhoullou: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Birizdo had the top pair while Akhoullou held a pair of trees and the flush draw, which he hit when the {q-Clubs} showed up on the turn. Birizdo was still hoping for another club to hit a higher flush but the river fell a {9-Hearts} and Birizdo busted at the bubble position with a smile.

The 72 remaining players are now bagging their chips before returning to Day 2 at noon tomorrow.
