On blinds of 25,000/50,000/50,000, Marios Bofilios opened to 100,000 from the button. Romain Boursier and Michael Eleby defended from the small blind and big blind respectively.
The flop provided K♦Q♦8♥. Boursier and Eleby checked. Bofilios continued for 140,000. Boursier counted down his stack before announcing all-in for 545,000 effective. Eleby quickly got out of the way and Bofilios flicked in a call.
Boursier: J♦9♦
Bofilios: A♥K♣
Bofilios had flopped top pair top kicker. Boursier had a gutshot straight flush draw but any diamond or any ten would also be a welcomed sight.
The board pairing turn was no help to Boursier but he found the 7♦ river to secure a double up.
33 players remain. There will be a full redraw at 27 players.
