"All in and a call," we heard a dealer yell. When we arrived, Ramzi Jelassi has 
laid out in front of him while Bastian Fischer held the inferior 
. The board read 
, and while we're not positive, we believe the chips went in preflop. Whatever the case, Fischer saw his stack of approximately 200,000 shipped over to Jelassi.

We joined the table to see the 
flop laid in the middle of the felt, Fabrice Soulier in the small blind, Vadim Belov all-in in the big blind and Dany Parlafes on the button as the active players.
Soulier and Parlafes checked the 
turn and the river and when the cards were revealed Parlafes winced.
Soulier: 
Parlafes: 
Belov:
Belov was eliminated, but as he left the tournament area Parlafes informed Soulier, "You could not have played that any worse. If you play a hand well I will complement you, but that was not good."
"Thank you!" replied a defiant Soulier before turning to his fellow countryman Jonathan Khalifa and saying, "We have Italians and Romanians her. We must fight!"

ran into the of Mads Amot and the board ran out

With 30,000 in the pot and a flop of
