The Money Bubble is Here

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The tournament officials just announced that there are just 64 players remaining, which means we're officially on the money bubble; as such, hand-for-hand play has been instituted. One more player will leave empty handed, while the other 63 will earn at least €1,965.

Fleury Runs Kings Into Gibert's Aces

We're not sure of the betting, but we do know that Fabien Fleury found himself all in preflop for around 10,000 with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and up against the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} of Sylvain Gibert. Fleury was clearly unhappy with the predicament so close to the money, and he made a hasty exit from the tournament floor when the board ran out an uneventful {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Kuether vs. Cajelais

Joe Kuether
Joe Kuether

After a player had raised from the cutoff, Erik Cajelais three-bet to 4,300 from the button. Joe Kuether then moved all in from the small blind for 19,600, the original raiser folded, and Cajelais made the call.

Showdown
Kuether: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Cajelais: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Kuether had Cajelais crushed, but a glimpse of concern crossed his face when the {3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop gave his Canadian foe an aded gut-shot straight draw to a four. Luckily for Kuether, neither the {Q-Hearts} turn nor {6-Hearts} river changed a thing and he doubled to 50,000.
