Alekseev Eliminated by Dray

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Samuel Dray
Samuel Dray

Vladimir Alekseev opened from under the gun and Samuel Dray three-bet to 8,000 from middle position. Fabio Peluso called from the hijack before Alekseev four-bet shoved for 26,900. Both Dray and Peluso made the call.

The flop came KJ8 and both Dray and Peluso checked, leading to the 6 turn. Dray bet 16,000 and Peluso snap-folded, leaving Alekseev at risk versus Dray.

Vladimir Alekseev: J10 All in
Samuel Dray: KK

Dray was a massive favorite with top set while Alekseev could only hit running quads, a running straight or a running flush to survive. The A river was of no help to Alekseev and he made his exit from the tournament area while Dray scooped the pot.
