Youssef Bargach moved all in blind under the gun for 10,000, Viktor Kovachev called UTG+1, Matthew Lambrecht called from middle position, and Robert Mizrachi called from the cutoff.

The flop came AsJs2c, and Kovachev bet 13,000. Lambrecht and Mizrachi both folded.

With all action complete, Kovachev showed Ac9h for a pair of aces. Bargach turned over his cards, seeing them for the first time himself, and he had Jd9d for a pair of jacks. Bargach needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 2s, the river card was the 8c, and Kovachev won the pot with two pair, aces and deuces, to eliminate Bargach from the tournament.
