Elvira Popescu limped in from the button, and Alex decided to raise to 350K from the small blind. Both players called, and the flop was put out. Alex did not place a continuation, and both his opponents checked very quickly, happy to see a turn. That’s when Alex decided to commit. He bet out 310K, which were called only by Hassan.
On the river, Alex went all-in for about a pot size bet, and a snap call followed.
Alexandre Nadeau-Lévesque: 
Hassan Salha: 
Board: 
A very wet turn, giving Alex the top pair and Hassan the nut straight. Alex played solid poker throughout the evening, the only player to have rivaled with Hassan’s stack at some point. He takes $14,470, which was previously secured in the ICM chop.
Congratulations!
