Back-to-back massive losses to Jeremie Zouari have seen the demise of Alexander Ivarsson in third place.
First, with the largest stack of the three remaining players, Ivarsson moved all in from the button and was called by Zouari in the big blind for 205,000.
Jeremie Zouari: 5♠5♣
Alexander Ivarsson: 2♦2♥
The board came Q♠5♦4♥J♣3♥, giving Zouari a set on the flop to double up and take the chip lead.
Zouari extended his lead further and finished Ivarsson just a few minutes later. He raised to 20,000 in the small blind and Ivarsson defended his big blind.
The flop came 8♣4♥3♦. Zouari check-called a bet of 20,000 to see the 10♥ fall on the turn, then checked again. Ivarsson bet 50,000 and Zouari moved all in for 225,000 effective. Ivarsson used five time banks before making the call.
"That's a very good hand," commented Ivarsson as the hands were revealed.
Alexander Ivarsson: 9♥8♠
Jeremie Zouari: A♣A♥
Ivarsson needed help on the river to improve his pair of eights and crack Zouari's aces, but the 2♠ on the river brought him no such help, sending him home in third place.
