Raul Mestre Eliminated in 8th Place (�71,800)

Raul Mestre - 8th
Raul Mestre - 8th
On only the second hand of the day, Raul Mestre raised to 30,000 from the cut-off and Fredrik Nygard increased it to 100,000 from the small blind. After a short delay, Mestre pushed all in for an additional 210,000.

Nygard didn't seem pleased. He had 2:1 on his money, but waited before deciding what to do. After around a minute of hesitation, he made a reluctant call.

Nygard = {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Mestre = {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Mestre rose from his seat as it suddenly dawned on the press room that it was he who held the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Flop = {8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

But drama as the next card came...

Turn = {A-Hearts}

Don't celebrate just yet Spanish fans, this is poker, not tiddly-winks...

River = {Q-Hearts}

A disappointed Mestre departs in eighth place.
