The pot stood at around 12,000 with three players looking at a board of Q?4?A?8?.
Nichita Verbitchi, who was under the gun, bet out 5,500, a player in middle position called and Abdel-hakim Khelifa, on the button, raised to 18,200. Verbitchi moved all in for 55,300 and the player in middle position folded. Khelifa asked for a count and made the call.
Nichita Verbitchi: J?10?
Abdel-hakim Khelifa: A?Q?
Verbitchi was behind Khelifa's two pair, but had outs to both a straight and a flush. The 5? didn't oblige for Verbitchi and he was sent to the rail.
