Awad Eliminates Frustrated Lopez With Pocket Kings
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Following a middle position open raise to 8,000, Jerome Lopez called and Rami Awad moved all in for 84,000. The original raiser folded and Lopez made the call. Players flipped their cards, with Lopez at risk.
Jerome Lopez: Q?J?
Rami Awad: K?K?
The board ran out 7?7?8?5?7?. Lopez picked up a flush draw on the turn but faded it on the river. Awad held with his pocket kings to near double his stack.
Lopez was eliminated from the tournament. He slammed the table and then threw his cards in frustration, which hit a neutral player in the face.
"Sorry!", said Lopez as he took his leave.
Players are dropping quickly, with 20 busted since the break.
