Volga Uyanik Eliminated in 21st Place (MAD 28,000)
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Volga Uyanik opened to 110,000 from the button and Alexandre Le Vaillant three-bet to 425,000 from the small blind. Uyanik moved all in for 1,100,000 total and Le Vaillant called with a covering stack.
Volga Uyanik: 8x8x
Alexandre Le Vaillant: 9x9x
Uyanik was in rough shape having been pipped by the higher pocket-pair of Le Vaillant. Things looked even more bleak when Le Vaillant flopped a set on the 9?7?2? flop, but the 10? turn did give Uyanik an open-ended straight draw. The K? river was a blank and Uyanik was sent to the rail while Le Vaillant dragged in another decent pot.
