El Yaacoubi’s Eights Hold Strong, Sending Schenk to the Rail
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Lina Schenk kicked off the action with a raise to 80,000 from the button, only to be met with an all-in shove from Rachid El Yaacoubi in the big blind, who had her well-covered. Without hesitation, Schenk made the call, and the two prepared for a showdown.
Lina Schenk: A?K?
Rachid El Yaacoubi: 8?8?
In this classic flip situation, Schenk was hoping for some help from the board. Unfortunately for her, the dealer revealed 2?4?7?9?7?, offering no improvement to her hand. With that, Schenk’s tournament run came to an abrupt end as she was sent to the rail, while El Yaacoubi’s pocket eights held strong.
