Livello 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up turn of J♥9♣K♣6♦, Ori Elul bet and his opponent moved all in, which Elul called to put him at risk.

Player: K♦K♠ All in
Ori Elul: Q♠10♠

Elul was in the lead with his flopped nut straight, but still needed to fade a board pairing to secure the knockout. Unfortunately for the at-risk player, the river was the blank 8♠ and he was sent to the rail while Elul raked in the pot.

The flop came 6♦3♣9♦, Soma bet out 4,500. Pantaleo announced all in and Soma quickly called.

Giuseppe Pantaleo: K♥9♥ All in
Leo Soma: Q♣Q♥
