Tuscano Eliminates El Yaacoubi to Set up Money Bubble
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 38,000, leaving himself just 500 behind, and Veronica Tuscano called in the big blind.
Tuscano put El Yaacoubi all in on the 8♣2♣7♦ flop and El Yaacoubi called.
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♠J♠
Veronica Tuscano: 9♣8♠
Tuscano held the lead with her flopped pair of eights, and the Q♣ turn nor Q♠ river improved El Yaacoubi — eliminating him just prior to the money bubble.
