Lieu Shove Induces Laydown
Liz Lieu raised to 1,700 from under the gun and drew a couple of callers in middle position. The player on the button then made it 5,700 to go. The blinds folded, and Lieu quickly announced she was all in, setting out her remaining chips before her. The next player to act requested a count, and it was determined Lieu was all in for 27,125 total.
The count-requester deliberated quite some time, then folded, as did the other middle position caller. The player on the button then went deep into the tank, finally emerging to fold his 
face up.
With that pot, Lieu is up over 38,000.
ElkY Gives Some Back
![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was getting extremely short when he saved himself from blinding out with a double up and another few pots. He almost had starting stack in his sights in the small blind when he joined two other players to a 
flop. ElkY bet out 2,750. After one player folded, Bruno Launais flat called on the button. ElkY checked the 
on the turn, then called Launais' bet of 4,600. He checked again after the 
on the river. Launais took a minute to decide on a bet of 8,000. And ElkY grimaced as he folded himself back to 15,000. Launais stacked up about 40,000.
Double For ElkY
Action folded to Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier on the button and he went all in for just under 5,000. The player in the big blind looked him up with 
. Grospellier tabled 
and needed some help from the board to survive.
Sure enough, help came. The board ran out 
and Grospellier is out of the danger zone with about 10,000.
Guiglini Gives Opponent Fits
[Removed:13] raised to 1,350 from middle position, and only the big blind called. The flop came 
, and the big blind checked. Guiglini bet 1,550. "How much?" the big blind repeated his usual question. He got the answer and raised to 4,200. Guiglini called, then found the action back on him quickly when his opponent checked the 
turn. After a moment, he bet 5,625, leaving himself three pink T5,000 chips. Then the big blind began his theatrics. He held his small stack (about 17,000, mostly in two big chips) in his hands like he was rolling dice. Several times he looked like he was about to release them like he was the shooter at a craps table. Finally, he took a deep breath, squeezed his chips, raised them...and then put them back down and mucked his cards. Guiglini was back up to around 35,000 after the performance.
De la Gorce Makes Opponent See Red
There was about 5,000 in the middle and the board was all red -- 
. Three players remained vying for the pot. The small blind checked, and the big blind bet 3,500. Then Guillaume de la Gorce made it 10,000 from the cutoff position. The small blind folded, and after thinking for a minute de la Gorce's opponent exhaled loudly, clearly not happy about having to let his hand go.
De la Gorce moves up to 58,000.

Button Four-Bet Does It for Lellouche
A player raised to 1,300 from middle position, then the cutoff made it 3,800 to go. Antony Lellouche then took little time making it 8,075 from the button. The blinds and original raiser hastily folded, and after a bit of a think the cutoff folded as well.
Lellouche has climbed back to 45,000.

Debabeche Setting Up the Table
Make that 190,000 for Ahmed Debabeche.
In his latest hand, the board read 
and the pot was quite healthy with nearly 40,000 in the middle. Debabeche was facing a bet of 25,000 from an opponent and tanked for about five minutes before calling. His opponent shook his head, acknowledging defeat. Debabeche tabled for another flopped set, winning the hand and nearing the 200,000 mark.
