Pointon Eliminated by Balleur
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Arron Pointon was already all-in from the small blind and awaited his fate when Michael Gathy in the big blind bet the 8♦7♣6♠3♣ turn and called a raise to 10,000 by Gaetan Balleur. The 9♣ fell on the river and Gathy checked. Balleur bet 6,900 to isolate and Pointon said "I have the worst possible hand on this board" before he flashed his Q♣J♠.
Balleur's 10♣10♥ had rivered the ten-high straight for good measure to score the knockout.
