Julien Claudepierre opened with a raise to 70,000 and Fabrice Soulier moved all-in for his last remaining 340,000 and Claudepierre called.
Soulier: 
Claudepierre: 
Board: 
Claudepierre's pair of deuces survived and Soulier was eliminated.
A short-stacked Sebastien Bidinger moved all-in from the button, William Johnson made the call from the big blind and the Frenchman did not like what he saw.
Bidinger: 
Johnson: 
Board: 
No help came for either player but that meant Johnson's kicker played and the American took down the pot. We're now on a redraw for the final two tables.
We're down to 16 players after a flurry of exits; they've broken a table and players are on a 20 minute break.
The level has restarted, there's about 10 minutes remaining so we'll be playing straight through until the end of the next level.

Kevin Keosomphet has been eliminated by Lucien "Ratman" Cohen here at EPT Deauville.
Keosomphet opened to 76,000 from early position and Cohen placed his little grey rat on his cards before making the call. The flop was 
and both players checked. The turn was the 
and Keosomphet bet 91,000 and Cohen again made the call.
The dealer flipped over the 
on the river and Keosomphet made a bet which looked a little over 100,000. Cohen announced all-in and Keosomphet called. Cohen pulled his big black rat out of his bag and gave it a kiss as he threw his 
onto the table. Cohen simply mucked his unseen cards before making arrangements to leave the tournament.
Cohen now has 3 million chips.
William Johnson raised to 70,000 in early position and it folded all the way around to Didier Mazairac in the big blind, who called.
The flop came down 
and Mazairac announced all in. Johnson snap-called and they turned their hands over.
Mazairac: 
for an up and down straight draw
Johnson: 
for really not that much, but still in front of Mazairac
Turn: 
River: 
Mazairac's straight failed to materialise and he busted out in 15th place; Johnson's stack moved up to around 1.7 million. Martin Jacobson has now been moved over to that table.
Laurent Polito (button) and Philip Jacobsen (big blind) saw a 
flop. The action went Jacobsen check, Polito 100,000, Jacobsen raise some hundreds of thousands (inconveniently obscured behind another player's head), and finally Polito went all in to cover Jacobsen. Jacobsen tanked up for some time, but eventually he passed, leaving himself 800,000 or so.
"Never bluff," warned Polito, whose stack is now at perhaps 3.1 million.
"Except when you're bluffing," said another player cheerfully.
