After a flop of [10d9h3c], Guillaume Darcourt checks, Paul Kuzmich bets 6,800 from the button, and Darcourt check-raises to 18,500. Kuzmich moves all in for about 37,000, and Darcourt snap-calls with [10s3s] (two pair, tens and threes). Kuzmich turns over [QcQs], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.
The turn is the [2c], and the river is the [Qd] — Kuzmich wins the pot with a set of queens to double up in chips.
Paul Kuzmich – 77,000 (96 bb)
Guillaume Darcourt – 27,000 (33 bb)
A short while later, after a flop of [5c4c2s], Darcourt checks the big blind, WPT Champions Club member Tony Ruberto bets 3,000 from the button, and Darcourt check-raises all in for 22,000.
Ruberto thinks for a while before he calls with [7h5h] for a pair of fives, and Darcourt turns over [9d6d] for a gutshot straight draw.
The turn is the [Ks], the river is the [Ad], and Ruberto wins the pot with his pair of fives to eliminate Darcourt from the tournament.
Tony Ruberto – 162,000 (202 bb)
