button in SafariSharma Puts His Hope on Aces
Jason Habinsky was all in and at risk for his last 36,600 from early position and was covered by his neighbor, Rahul Sharma, who sat to his direct left.
Jason Habinsky: Q♦Q♠
Rahul Sharma: A♣A♠
Sharma was ahead and looking to hold to get a near double as he only just covered Habinsky. Habinsky didn't have to wait long to see another queen as the dealer placed the 4♠Q♣5♣ flop.
There was no coming back for Sharma as the 10♣ turn and 6♦ river didn't change the standings, and he was left with just 500 chips, which was less than a single big blind.
In the next hand, he moved all in from early position and action folded around to Thijs Hilberts, who rejammed on the button for around 16,000.
Rahul Sharma: Q♦3♠
Thijs Hilberts: Q♥10♥
Sharma was already behind, but when the ten came in the window on the 10♠6♥K♠ flop, Sharma stood from the table. He was eliminated from the tournament after the 4♣ turn and 5♦ river were placed.
