Wow.
We picked up the action on a 
flop after Daniel Neilson had raised to 160,000 from the hijack seat and Yorane Kerignard called from the button. Neilson fired 250,000 and Kerignard called.
The 
landed on the turn and both players checked to see the 
land on the river. Neilson checked and Kerignard bet 230,000. Neilson took some time and then snuck in a check-raise to 1.1 million straight.
Kerignard took a long while considering the decision for about half his remaining stack, but he eventually couldn't help himself. He forced the call into the pot, and he immediately cringed at the sight of Neilson's cards. It was 
that appeared on the other side of the felt, and the Frenchman mucked his cards.
He's left with just about 1.8 million chips now.

The flop came down

The turn was the and left Palumbo drawing dead. The river completed the board with the

Yorane Kerignard had raised two hands in a row (including that big double on the last one), and on the third, he limped in from the small blind. In the big, though, Dimitar Danchev raised it up to 240,000, and the rest of the action came rather quickly. Kerignard shoved in, Danchev snapped, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Kerignard: 
Danchev:
Kerignard was the one at risk, and he needed his little pair to hold strong to keep him alive. The flop came 
, though, and it was Danchev with a huge lead, two cards from the knockout. The turn 
and river failed to provide the two-out salvation for Kerignard, and he has been sent off in 6th place. That's good for €130,000.
Danchev is now in contention for the chip lead, less than a million chips behind the Aussie.
