Chevalier in the Tank

Level 24 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Mathieu Chevalier raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Fabio Pinho Damaso called from the cutoff. The flop was {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Damaso called 50,000 from Chevalier. Both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn.

On the river, Chevalier checked, Damaso bet 210,000 and Chevalier went deep in the tank. He shifted in his seat for minutes and eventually got the clock called on him. After nearly five minutes, he opted to call it off.

Damaso showed {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for eights full and Chevalier mucked {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} in disgust

Ante: 30,000

Sanchez on Life Support

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Alex Sanchez open-shoved 500,000 on the button and Abdullatif Attia folded his small blind. Yves Rolland looked at his cards in the big blind and instantly put his stack in.

Yves Rolland: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Alex Sanchez: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The dealer fanned out {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Sanchez was left with a mere 10,000. The blinds went up and he called those chips all in the next hand. It got checked down four-way on {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Sanchez showed {J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and much to everyone's surprise, his deuce was good enough to septuple up.

Miguel Couceiro Eliminated in 14th Place (62,000 MAD / €5,668)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Miguel Couceiro
Miguel Couceiro

In the first of two hands that led to Miguel Couceiro's demise, he and Mathieu Papineau got it both in and were all smiles when they revealed the same pair.

Miguel Couceiro: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Mathieu Papineau: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

"Come on, no joke, just split pot please," Couceiro said. The sweat became very real though, as the flop appeared {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn was safe for Couceiro, but the {9-Clubs} on the river improved Papineau to an improbable flush.

The Portuguese had to fork over 760,000 of his chips to Papineau and was left with a mere 160,000. After folding his big blind, the next hand it was Jaouad Abida raised to 90,000 on the button, Couceiro shoved his final 110,000 from the small blind, Papineau called from the big blind and Abida could only call as well.

The {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop got checked by both players. Papineau bet 105,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn and Abida open-folded {A-}{K-}.

Miguel Couceiro: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Mathieu Papineau: {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Papineau finished what he had started with yet another club flush and Couceiro was drawing dead, making the {5-Spades} river merely one for the statistics. He finished in 14th place and received 62,000 MAD.

Mathieu Chevalier Eliminated in 13th Place (75,000 MAD / €6,856)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mathieu Chevalier
Mathieu Chevalier

In a blind on blind battle, Tobias Peters raised from the small blind and a short-stack Mathieu Chevalier went all in for around 300,000. Peters wasn't going anywhere and quickly made the call.

Mathieu Chevalier: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Tobias Peters: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop brought {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to give each player a pair. Neither {3-Clubs} turn nor {10-Clubs} river changed anything and Chevalier busted shortly before the break in 13th.
