Julien Labussiere Eliminated in 8th Place (€25,356)

Julien Labussiere (8th place) says his goodbyes.
Julien Labussiere (8th place) says his goodbyes.

Julien Labussiere pushed all in from the cutoff seat for his last 342,000, and it folded to Sebastian Homann in the big blind. Homann checked his cards, then said he was calling the raise. Cards on their backs…

Homann {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Labussiere {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Labussiere had the preflop advantage, but the first three community cards -- {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{J-Diamonds} -- took that away, giving the hard-charging Homann two pair. Labussiere still harbored hopes to improve to a straight or perhaps spike a king, but the turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river the {2-Spades}, and the young Frenchman has been eliminated in eighth place.

Homann's stacks keep getting higher and higher. He's well above 2 million now.
