Final Table Bubble

We are on the final table bubble, which means that action has slowed down a bit since the final nine players redrew for seats. The slowdown is very common with televised final tables, since each of the remaining players doesn't want to be the unlucky soul who doesn't get to come back tomorrow.

One Table...But Not the Final Table

Our nine remaining players have re-drawn for seats at the TV featured table. Action will continue until one more player is eliminated and we're down to our final table of eight. Here's the new lineup, with updated chip counts.

Seat 1: Eric Liu 740,000
Seat 2: Johannes Strassmann 648,000
Seat 3: Philippe D'Auteuil 343,000
Seat 4: Antony Lellouche 1,328,000
Seat 5: Michael Tureniec 1,098,000
Seat 6: Alan Smurfit 386,000
Seat 7: Marcin Horecki 242,000
Seat 8: Michael Martin 883,000
Seat 9: Erik Sjodin 326,000

Antony Lellouche raised 35,000 from the cutoff. Peter Busch reraised 50,000 more from the button. Lellouche called. The flop was {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {7-Spades}. Lellouche reached for five stacks of red chips worth 100,000. Busch announced that he was all in. Lellouche snap-called with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. His trip kings were ahead of Busch's flush draw with {J-Spades} {5-Spades}. The turn was the {Q-Spades} and Lellouche turned a full house. Busch was drawing dead. A bevy of Lellouche's supports shouted words of encouragement in French as he flashed a huge smile. The river was the a meaningless {2-Spades}. Busch had Lellouche covered. Lellouche doubled up to over 1 million.
