Fournier Builds Early with Elimination of Iordanishvili

Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Following a raise to 20,000 by Alexandre Fournier in the cutoff, Beka Iordanishvili moved all in from the big blind for a bit over 250,000. Fournier called.
Beka Iordanishvili: A?J?
Alexandre Fournier: A?Q?
Iordanishvili was dominated, but the J? appeared in the window, giving him hope for a healthy double-up.
That hope quickly faded as it was immediately followed by the Q?, pairing Fournier.
The board completed J?Q?5?2?3? as no further help came Iordanishvili's way, ending his day less than 20 minutes into play.
