Dominik Nitsche Eliminated by Julien Rouxel
Dominik Nitsche
In a preflop raising contest, Dominik Nitsche and Julien Rouxel get their chips into the middle for near identical stack sizes.
Nitsche has the best of it with the KK while Rouxel flips over the suited AK
The A42 suddenly leaves Nitsche on the ropes and he founds no escape on the 5 turn or J river. Both stacks are counted and the 143,000 of Rouxel cover.
Julien Rouxel - 290,000 (116 bb)
Dominik Nitsche - Eliminated
Kazuyuki Tanemura three-bets to 12,000 and then calls a four-bet to 35,000 by Florencio Campomanes from the very next seat, while the initial raiser folds. Tanemura check-calls for 8,000 on the A32 flop, they check the 6 turn and Tanemura check-calls Campomanes for the last 5,000 on the A river.
Campomanes doubles with the QQ, the cards of Tanemura are never exposed.
Florencio Campomanes - 95,000 (38 bb)
