Christian Kruel Eliminated in 18th Place ($31,679)

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Christian Kruel - 18th place
Christian Kruel - 18th place

From the cutoff seat, Christian Kruel raised to 125,000, and Antonin Teisseire three-bet shoved with his covering stack. Kruel thought it over, and he was more or less committed to his {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Teisseire flipped over the ol' {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}, and he had Kruel five cards from the door.

The {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} flop was a bit of a sweat for Kruel, but the turn {J-Clubs} left him drawing dead. He was already packing up by the time the river {4-Hearts} landed, and he's been eliminated in 18th place.

After the hand, Antonin Teisseire got a pretty stern warning about speaking in French during play, and the disruption even led to a couple of his railbird friends being asked to leave the room.
