Rogez True to Form
Olivier Rogez got the better of Chris Brammer a lot yesterday, a big factor in the Brit's demise. Brammer said that the Frenchman had a tendency to always "donk" lead after he defended his big blind. This made it very hard to put him on a hand.
Rogez just made the same play against Luca Pagano, and it worked. The Team PokerStars Pro opened to 175,000 but tank folded when Rogez led for 250,000 on the flop. Pagano wasn't on the same table as the Frenchman yesterday, so must be still getting used to his style of play
Just a few hands later Paul Guichard made it 160,000 under the gun and Pagano shipped it in for his last 1.5 million chips. Guichard folded.
Mick Graydon Eliminated in 8th Place (€67,200)
Mick Graydon made what would become his final stand, shipping it all in pre-flop with , only to see chip leader Paul Guichard push all in behind him.
The rest of the table folded and Guichard showed a dominating that held on the board to make Graydon the first casualty of this final table and increase Guichard's chip lead.
