Ryan Franklin Eliminated in 7th Place (€46,851)

Ryan Franklin - 7th Place
Ryan Franklin - 7th Place
A few hands ago, Pierre Neuville was getting a bit frustrated with Ryan Franklin. The young pro had moved all in a couple different times, and Neuville had failed to notice on more than one occasion. He leaned back across the dealer to ask -- rather, tell -- Franklin to announce, "All in," more loudly.

Fast forward a few hands and we find Neuville opening the pot to 75,000. "All. In." said Franklin in a particularly clear manner. Two seats over from him, Jeff Sarwer came back over the top with an all in of his own. Neuville looked surprised and folded, and Franklin was heads up for his tournament life.

Showdown
Franklin: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Sarwer: {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

The news wasn't good for Franklin, and it wouldn't get any better. The {J-Spades} appeared right in the door, and he was unable to catch up on a board running out {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {J-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds}. That's the end of Franklin's day, knocked off in 7th place.
