Mustapha Kanit Eliminated in 19th Place (€19,000)

[user66118]

Dimitar Danchev raised to 52,000 to open the pot under the gun, and Mustapha Kanit flatted from the button. The two men went heads up, and the flop came {3-Spades} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} . Kanit called a bet of 56,000, and Danchev checked to him on the {5-Diamonds} turn. Kanit took his cue to bet 114,000 at the pot, but Danchev check-raised all in as a response. Kanit had about 350,000 chips behind, and he instantly called to put himself at risk. It was a sweat.

Showdown
Danchev: {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Kanit: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

Kanit had the overpair, but Danchev's open-ender had him drawing live to eight outs for the knockout.

Sure enough, the river {K-Hearts} came to take Kanit's chips, and he's been straightened right out the door in 19th place. Aces go under, and Kanit will have to settle for €19,000 today.
