Maher Nouira Eliminated in 5th Place (€240,400)
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau moved all in from the button, covering both players in the blinds. Maher Nouira, who had just doubled up off of Lau the hand before, made the call from the small blind to put himself at risk.
Maher Nouira: Q♦Q♥
Ka Kwan Lau: 3♣3♦
Nouira was in great shape to double up again through Lau and remained ahead on the 8♠10♠K♠ flop. That all changed on the 3♠ turn, giving Lau a set and leaving Nouira drawing to just two outs to win the pot outright (while any spade would chop the pot). The 10♦ river changed nothing and Nouira's deep run came to an end while Lau continued to pull away from the rest of his competitors.
