Nakache Makes the Right Joyce
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Toby Joyce and Elie Nakache had survived the money bubble with short stacks on a table with big stack Kahle Burns. Once the bubble burst, Joyce pushed for 85,000 from the button and Nakache called.
Toby Joyce: J♥10♦9♥6♥ 
Elie Nakache: A♠8♠7♦2♥
The Q♥Q♠7♥K♣6♠ board missed Joyce's double draw and Nakache earned the knockout by virtue of his kicker advantage.
