Raphaël Abitbol - 12th Place
Raphaël Abitbol - 12th Place

Mohsin Charania opened to 21,000 from early position. Timothy Adams, who was recently moved to the table, called, and Raphaël Abitbol three-bet to 125,000 from the blinds. Charania quickly moved all in, Adams mucked, and the action was back on Abitbol. With just 150,000 or so behind, Abitbol tanked for the better part of thirty seconds, then called.

Showdown
Charania: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Abitbol: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and Abitbol, a French qualifier who claims to have never played in a live tournament prior to the Grand Prix de Paris, is eliminated.

Quoss and Douieb Battle Again

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jérome Douieb opened to 20,000 from the cutoff, Fabian Quoss three-bet to 55,000 out of the small blind, and Douieb called.

The dealer fanned {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and Quoss checked.

"All in," Douieb announced without hesitation.

To call Quoss would've needed to commit all 250,000 of his chips. He did not call however, and Douieb took down the pot.

Serock had 40,000 behind however, and the flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Serock checked, and Jorgensen moved all in. Serock thought for a few seconds, then called with {a-Spades}{3-Spades}. He trailed the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Jorgensen, and the turn and river came {9-Hearts}, {q-Spades} respectively, eliminating the Season X Player of the Year.
