Rene Hits a One Outer to Bust Masini

Calum Grant

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Big stack Franck Rene opened to 7,000 from early position before Eric Masini moved all in for 28,000 on his direct left. Action folded to Cyprien Chassagne, who four-bet to 91,500, leaving himself around 10,000 behind. Rene rejammed, and Chassagne put in the rest of the chips, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the spot.

Eric Masini: K?K? All in
Cyprien Chassagne: A?Q? All in
Franck Rene: Q?Q?

Masini was the favorite to triple up, while Chassagne needed to find an ace to survive.

Somehow, the final queen appeared in the deck on the Q?8?7? flop to make Rene the favorite. The J? turn and 4? runout put out four to a flush, but neither player held a club so Rene secured the two eliminations.
