Ignat Liviu Eliminated in 10th Place (�48,000)

[user66118]

In a friendly preflop pot, Ignat Liviu and Nicolas took a heads-up flop for the minimum from their respective small and big blinds.

The dealer gave them {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} , and Levi called a bet of 40,000. Still pretty friendly. They'd both check the {J-Hearts} turn, and that's friendly too. The river brought the {2-Diamonds} , though, and it would turn out to be an unfriendly card for one of the two men. Liviu fired back out with 130,000, and Levi raised enough to put him all in for the extra 385,000 he had behind. Liviu didn't really love his spot, but he made the call for his tournament life.

Showdown
Liviu: {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} (wheel)
Levi: {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} (flush)

Diamonds are Nicolas Levi's best friend, and the flush sends Liviu to the rail. He's out in 10th place, and that'll earn him a pay bump up to �48,000.
