Three-way All In
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Martin van Gelder was all in for a total of 232,000 while Alexis Fourcade was in for his last 95,000. Ilan Rouah had both covered and the cards were turned up:
Rouah:
Fourcade:
Van Gelder:
The flop came down and Rouah jumped out to a huge lead. Fourcade would now need a jack or running straight cards while van Gelder needed even more help. The on the turn made things a little more interesting but it was the on the river that gave van Gelder a flush and silenced the table in disbelief. Fourcade was eliminated on the hand while van Gelder tripled to around 750,000.
