No Luck for Alacqua

Actually, he did have a spot of luck, doubling through Antony Lellouche with {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} against Lellouche's {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} on a {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {4-Clubs} board, putting him up to 21,000.

However, a few hands later, his luck ran out when he called Hans Eskilsson's all in on a {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop. Alacqua was holding {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}, but the turn brought a third diamond to make a flush for Eskilsson holding {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. A blank on the river, and a dejected Alacqua was left with just 3,000.

The very next hand, Moises Parrilla raised to 2,800, Alacqua went all in for 100 more, and it was the end of the road for the bearded Italian.

Alacqua: {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Parrilla: {A-Spades} {9-Spades}

Board: {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {6-Spades}

ElkY Knocked Down a Peg

The reason that Kevin Macphee has so many chips is that he's knocked ElkY down to a mere 9,000. Macphee raised from the cutoff, ElkY reraised from the big blind, Macphee shoved, and ElkY called.

ElkY: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Macphee: {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

Board: {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

Day Gets Worse for France Again

Following the exit of Remy Biechel, Pascal Perrault was next to drop. He was among several callers of a 2,400 preflop raise from Sven Leu under the gun, and when Leu bet out another 5,000 on the {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} flop, Perrault made his stand and pushed all in. Unfortunately for him, Leu insta-called with top set, and although Perrault also made a set on the turn, his one out failed to materialise on the river and he's a goner.

Perrault: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Leu: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

Board: {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Johnny Lodden Eliminated, a Drama in Three Acts

Act One:

Johnny Lodden moved all in from the button, Gino Alacqua moved all in behind him from the small blind, and the big blind folded. Lodden's {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} was up against Alacqua's {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, giving Alacqua the double-up and leaving Lodden on only 1,800 chips.

Act Two:

With the action folded to him in the cutoff, Lodden moved all in and chip leader Antony Lellouche obliged with a call. Lodden's {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} led Lellouche's {7-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, the flop coming down {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {3-Spades} to make Lellouche middle pair and give Lodden a gutshot straight draw. The {4-Hearts} on the turn was no help to Lodden.

"Queen!" called Lellouche as the dealer burned and turned the river card.

It was the {Q-Hearts}, making Lodden's straight and doubling him up to 4,500.

Act Three:

Lodden was all in again on the next hand and got a caller in Jerzy Hajdamowicz in the big blind.

Lodden: {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Hajdamowicz: {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

The {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} flop paired up Lodden and gave him a straight draw to boot. The {6-Spades} hit the turn, but Hajdamowicz made Broadway when the {J-Hearts} spiked on the river, an eerie reverse of the previous hand.

"Riverstars!" shouted a railbird as Lodden made his exit.
