Ivanov Holds With Trips to Bust Two Players
Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 6?8?8? and a bet was already out in the middle when Carlos Gabriel Valles Pons moved all in with a relatively short stack. Hristofor Ivanov isolated with the bigger stack and Michael Soumi also called all in. Players flipped their cards.
Michael Soumi: A?4? 
Carlos Gabriel Valles Pons: 9?7?
Hristofor Ivanov: 9?8?
Soumi had a flush draw, Pons had a straight draw, and Ivanov had a made hand with trip eights.
The turn came the 7? and river the 2?. The straight and flush both missed, so Ivanov held to win the pot and chip up to around 100,000.
Both Soumi and Pons were eliminated from the tournament.
