Labat Eliminated with Cracked Aces
Karim Rebei opened to 675,000 from under the gun and Antoine Labat three-bet to roughly 1,800,000 in the small blind. Action came back to Rebei who moved all in, and after confirming the action, Labat quickly called all in for his stack of approximately 7,000,000.

Labat was in great shape with the best starting hand in poker, although the flop provided a sweat. Labat walked around near the table as he anxiously awaited the next card, and the dealer put the onto the felt as the table reacted in disbelief at the sight of the devastating turn card, while Labat showed little reaction.
The river failed to bring an ace, and the Frenchman's deep run had come to an end in brutal fashion. The 2018 Main Event ninth-place finisher made his way to the payout desk following the disappointing result, as he fell just a bit short of another prestigious Main Event final table.
