Alex Kulev opened to 5,500 from the hijack and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 16,000 from the next seat. Pascal Lefrancois then four-bet jammed a stack of 110,000 from the big blind and Kulev re-shoved with the chip lead. Mateos snap-called with Lefrancois covered.

Pascal Lefrancois:
Adrian Mateos:
Alex Kulev:

"That's good for you!" Kulev told Lefrancois, who was behind but the only player with immediate outs.

But he couldn't hit one of those two outs as the board ran out to mark the Canadian's elimination as Mateos and Kulev split the pot.

"You had him covered?" Kulev cheekily asked Mateos as he tried, to no avail, to get a bigger share.
