November Niner Pierre Neuville Eliminated
Two time EPT Main Event runner up and current November Niner Pierre Neuville has been eliminated from the tournament. Non other than high roller Mustapha Kanit was the one responsible for the Belgians departure.
Kanit made it 2,000 under the gun and the player on the button called. Pierre Neuville in the small blind squeezed all in for 16,800 and the big blind instantly folded. Kanit thought about it for a bit and called, the button folded.
Mustapha Kanit: 
Pierre Neuville: 
The flop came 
, a small disaster for Neuville who got severely out flopped. He had one eight left to hit on top of his gutshot, but Kanit had a pair plus flush draw. Neuville kept his hopes up but Kanit said it wasn't going to happen: "I'm gonna win this one."
The 
on the turn sealed the deal for Kanit and the 
on the river was there just to make things official. Neuville shook hands with Kanit and wandered off, the 72-yeah old routinier probably was on his way to play another tournament.
