Albertini Takes Some From Adams

On a {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts} flop, Timothy Adams led out with a bet of an unknown amount and was called by Stephane Albertini. The {10-Clubs} turned and Adams continued for 65,000 only to be called once again.

Adams moved 123,000 into the center after the {6-Spades} completed the board on the river. Albertini called and Adams showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a draw that did not get there. Albertini tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and dragged in the pot.

Steve Dannenmann Eliminated in 12th Place (€52,416)

Steve Dannenmann busts out in 12th place.
Steve Dannenmann busts out in 12th place.

Action folded around to Steve Dannenmann's button and he moved all in for his last roughly 130,000. Joseph Cheong snapped him off from the big blind and showed {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Unfortunately for Dannenmann, he held an under pair and his {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} were in need of dire help to score him a double up. The flop came down {Q-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades} and was of no help to the 2005 WSOP Main Event Runner-Up.

The {4-Spades} hit the turn.

"There's always a sweat," said Cheong as Dannenmann called for a spade.

Alas, the {10-Clubs} fell on the river to eliminate Dannenmann in 12th place. Cheong stood up to shake Dannenmann's hand and Dannenmann said "You always fold jacks! Jacks are a bad hand!" with a smile.

The ever jovial Dannenmann will take home €52,416 for his efforts here in Cannes.

Baranov Likes His Albertini Shaken, Not Stirred

With 240,000 in the pot and a board reading {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{A-Hearts}, Sergii Baranov bet 140,000 from the big blind and received a call from Stephane Albertini in the under-the-gun position. The {6-Clubs} river saw Baranov fire again, this time 175,000, and Albertini ended up tank-folding {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} face up. Baranov obliged and showed the superior {A-}{K-}.

Seiver Wins The Race to Double

Action folded to Jason Mercier who limped on the button. Scott Seiver shipped all in for 177,000 from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth folded his big blind. Mercier snap called and the hands were shown:

Seiver: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Mercier: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board fell down {8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Seiver's nines were able to hold, securing him a double up.

Nicolas Cardyn - 11th
Nicolas Cardyn - 11th

Phil Hellmuth opened for 50,000 under the gun and was met with an all-in three-bet to 153,000 from Nicolas Cardyn on the button. Both blinds folded, Hellmuth asked for a count, and then he committed the chips to put Cardyn at risk.

Showdown
Cardyn: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Hellmuth had Cardyn crushed, and he would put an end to the Frenchman's Main Event run in 11th place after the board ran out {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The remaining ten players will now play two five-handed tables until we get down to nine, at which point they'll combine and play the unofficial final table.
