Olivier Ferrero Eliminated in 15th Place (€2,880)

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Olivier Ferrero
Olivier Ferrero

The flop read {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} and both Boutros Naim and Olivier Ferrero had checked their blinds. Nick Pupillo bet 20,000 from mid-position and Naim called. Ferrero shoved for 198,000 in total. Pupillo confirmed the amount and then decided to call. Naim looked shocked and then decided to fold.

Olivier Fererro: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Nick Pupillo: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Fererro had flopped trip queens while Pupillo was sitting on a full house.

Only another queen could help Fererro but the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and the {a-Spades} on the river wasn't what he wanted as he was eliminated in 15th place.

Kudzmanas Does it Again

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Deividas Daubaris raised to 16,500 from the hijack and Marius Kudzmanas put in his whole stack of blue 5,000-value chips for the three-bet from the cutoff. Action folded back to Daubaris who shoved with the bigger stack. Kudzmanas tanked and then made the call when he saw the other table was through to the next hand.

Marius Kudzmanas: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Deividas Daubaris: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

"Diamonds!" Kudzmanas requested.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{q-Clubs} to give Kudzmanas a pair of queens.

"Queen!" Kudzmanas exclaimed.

The turn brought them the {q-Spades} and the whole table gasped as Kudzmanas now hit trip queens.

The river completed the board with the {j-Clubs} as Kudzmanas doubled up for the 91,500 he had behind.

Julien Martini
Julien Martini

Nick Pupillo: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} for Martini to flop a gutshot to the straight draw but brick the turn and river to be eliminated in 21st place for €2,110.
