With just about 45,000 chips left in front of him, Joseph Elpayaa looked down at 
and made the open-shove from middle position. In the small blind, Shawn Buchanan asked for the count, then made the call with his 
poised for the knockout.
Elpayaa found a pair on the flop, but it wasn't enough as the 
board has sent him on his way in 22nd place.

From under the gun, Shawn Buchanan raised to 6,500. Dan Fleyshman three-bet from the next seat in the cutoff and made it 20,000. Action folded back to Buchanan and he thought for a bit before announcing that he was all in. Buchanan was all in for over 200,000 and had Fleyshman's 185,000 remaining chips covered. Fleyshman tanked long and hard, but eventually folded and Buchanan won the pot.
We're fairly sure Noah Schwartz and Jason Mercier both come to France as residents of South Florida, and the two of them have been mixing it up for the last few orbits as this field continues to shrink.
A couple hands ago, Mercier raised to 6,000 to open the pot, and Schwartz three-bet to 14,500 in position. Mercier called, and he checked the 
flop. Schwartz continued out with 24,500 more chips, and Mercier gave it a good stare before releasing his cards. Schwartz flashed .
And then a moment ago, we picked up another heads-up pot between them, this one also opened by Mercier preflop. On the 
, he fired out with 7,500, and Schwartz floated to see the on the turn. Mercier kept the heat on with another 22,000, and Schwartz spent some time in the tank before waving the white flag and folding.
Not much movement in the chips so far, but we're keeping a close eye on the Floridians over there.
First into the pot, Noah Schwartz raised to 6,500, and Bruno Fitoussi defended his big blind with a call. Off they went to a 
flop, and Schwartz continued out with the same 6,500. Fitoussi check-called, and he checked again on the turn. Schwartz wasn't stopping now, and he made it 17,500. But Fitoussi took control with a check-raise to 36,000, and Schwartz asked how much he was playing before making the call.
On the river, both men were content to check it down.
Schwartz showed his first, and Fitoussi flashed one card (possibly the ), nodded in acknowledgement, and returned his cards to the muck.
