Heads-up on a flop of 10♥3♦8♠, Arthur Thiriart bet 4,500 from early position before Filippo Gandini raised to 20,000 in the big blind. Thiriart moved all in and Gandini quickly called for his last 45,000.
Filippo Gandini: J♥9♠
Arthur Thiriart: Q♠Q♣
Thiriart was ahead with his queens, while Gandini had a straight draw. The 2♣ turn was no help to Gandini, while he also missed the 10♠ river as Thiriart scooped the pot to send Gandini to the rail.
