Pak Leaves Joumaa with Crumbs
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bakhos Joumaa opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Aleksandr Pak, seated directly to his left, three-bet to 190,000. Joumaa made the call.
The flop came A♠J♠6♥ and Joumaa led with a 260,000 bet that was called by Pak, who had 385,000 behind.
Joumaa moved all in on the J♦ turn with a covering stack and Pak made the call, putting himself at risk.
Aleksandr Pak: A♦A♣
Bakhos Joumaa: Q♠10♠
Joumaa had a combo draw but was drawing to just one out against Pak who had aces full of jacks. No straight flush materialized on the 7♣ river and Pak doubled up through Joumaa who was left with just over five big blinds and eliminated soon after.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Darius Neagoe and Ryan Mandara were recently eliminated.
