Gokul Raj Waves Goodbye To The ME

Indian pro Gokul Raj was eliminated in a three-way all-in pot between Evgenii Nekrasov, Yong Chua and himself. All three players got their stacks in the middle of the table pre-flop, with the Chua having the biggest stack. 

Nekrasov flipped Fish Hooks, Raj had Snowmen as Chua held A ♣ K ♦ . Raj being the shortest stack needed an 8 on the board to stay alive. The flop brought 7 ❤ A ♠ 3 ♣ giving the highest stack a top pair. 

On seeing the 5 ♠ on the turn, Nekrasov began walking away from the table while Raj too began preparing to leave. The river brought J ♦ , awarding the pot to Nekrasov who ran back to the table after hearing his table mates scream. Raj’s tournament life came to an end. 

• Raj: 8 ♣ 8 ❤
• Nekrasov: J ♠ J ❤
• Chua: A ♣ K ♦
• Board: 7 ❤ A ♠ 3 ♣ 5 ♠ J ♦
