Vlachos Spikes River to Eliminate Constantin on Money Bubble
There were three all-in-and-calls on the stone money bubble and the first was at Table 4 with Andre von Ins being at risk against Jean-David Bensemhoun.
Andre von Ins: 7♦7x
Jean-David Bensemhoun: 10♣10♥
Von Ins had the inferior pair, but that mattered little as the dealer put down the flop of 6♣6♥7♣ to give him a full house. The 6♠ turn created the possibility of the full house being counterfeited, but the safe Q♣ river secured his double to save him from elimination.
At Table 1, Adrian-Remus Constantin was at risk against Lampros Vlachos and the cards were flipped.
Lampros Vlachos: Q♠10♦
Adrian-Remus Constantin: K♣J♣
The flop landed 2♠K♠10♣ to give Constantin the lead with a pair of kings, but the A♠ turn increased Vlachos' outs with flush and straight draws. He hit them both as the dealer put down the J♠ to give Constantin a no-good two pair to mark his elimination on the money bubble.
The all-in at the third table was less climactic as both players held ace-king to result in a split pot.
Constantin's elimination marked the end of Day 1c as players bagged and tagged ahead of Day 2. Stay tuned for a full recap of the day's events.
