De Jonges Chip Lead Evaporated by Sagra

Sebastiaan de Jonge: 9♠9♥

Sagra was looking for his third triple-up in a short space of time, and kept his lead through

Srivinay Irrinki: A♣4♠

Irrinki had the best of it preflop and stayed ahead through the 10♥6♠6♣flop. However, a 7♠

Allan Le: J♥10♥ All in
Srivinay Irrinki: A♥10♠

Le was dominated and didn't find much to work with on the 6♦6♠9♥ flop, though there were some backdoor possibilities. An 8♥ on the turn opened up the backdoor slightly wider as he picked up a plethora of outs, but the A♦ on the river was a brick, meaning he was out in seventh.
