This one was decided in the blinds, as Shaul Weinstein moved all-in from the small blind with J♣3♣, putting pressure on Alexis Lucarini. The two had almost identical stacks, making the ICM implications massive. Lucarini, however, snap-called after looking down at A♦Q♣, putting Weinstein at immediate risk.
The flop came 9♥K♠3♦, pairing Weinstein’s three and propelling him into the lead. The Frenchman was now looking for an ace or a queen to avoid being crippled.
The 10♠ on the turn changed nothing, and the river brought a blank 4♠. Weinstein secured the double-up, while Lucarini was left with just a chip and a chair.
Shaul Weinstein: 3,500,000
Alexis Lucarini: 50,000
Alexis Lucarini was automatically all-in from the small blind with 9♦5♣. Three players came along, looking to ensure the Frenchman’s exit.
It was a quick check around on all three streets, and in the end, it was Gary Fisher’s 4♣3♥ that did it on the 2♦6♣K♦3♦2♠ runout. A strong run for Lucarini comes to an end as he finishes the 2026 Kings of Tallinn Main Event in fifth place, collecting €46,250.
Gary Fisher: 7,500,000
Alexis Lucarini: 0
