Alex Ivanov Eliminated in 11th Place ($13,423)

Feb 13, 2012

Alex Ivanov raises to 25,000 from middle position and Gigi Gagne reraises to 50,000 behind him.  Keith Ferrera is in the small blind and four-bets to 200,000 total.

Ivanov quickly moves all-in for 393,000 total.  Gagne gets an exact count and thinks a minute before she says, "You know what? Let’s do it. Rock and roll," and calls.

Ferrera is next to act and takes a minute before calling as well.  Ivanov is all-in for the main pot, but there is still action pending when the flop comes [Qc9s3s].  Ferrera checks and Gagne moves all-in.  Ferrera quickly folds.

Gagne turns over [KcQs] for top pair.  Ivanov holds [JcJs].  The [5s] on the turn gives both players a flush draw, but Gagne has the bigger flush draw.  The river [6d] is the end of the line for Ivanov and Gagne rakes in the gigantic pot to take a substantial chip lead going in to the unofficial final table.

Gigi Gagne – 2,550,000 (255 BBs)
Keith Ferrera – 715,000 (72 BBs)
Alex Ivanov – eliminated in 11th place ($13,423)
