: 100/200, 25 ante
After stumbling a bit early on to fall below 20,000, Nicolas Chouity has been active during the last orbit at Table 18, with the results pushing his stack back up over the 30,000-chip starting mark.
Just one hand after knocking out Yves Maison, Chouity was back at it raising to 425 from middle position. It folded back to Janos Nagygyorgy in the small blind who reraised to 1,125 from the small blind. Chouity called, and the pair watched the flop come 
.
Nagygyorgy fired a continuation bet of 950, and Chouity called. The turn brought the 
and another bet from Nagygyorgy, this time for 2,650. Chouity called once more.
The river was the 
, and this time Nagygyorgy pushed out a pot-proportionately smaller bet of 2,700. Chouity didn't hesitate very long before announcing he was all in, and with minimal delay Nagygyorgy let his hand go.
Chouity showed one card — the 
— then scooped the pot. "Pocket nines?" asked Nagygyorgy, but Chouity had no response. "Ace-queen," said Nagygyorgy of his own hand.
Chouity may or may not have heard him. In any case, the next hand was soon dealt, and Chouity was opening with a raise once again.

Dimitry Gromov will not be adding an EPT title to the WPT Vienna gong he already owns because he has just been eliminated from the main event.
We joined the action on a 
flop where Gromov was all-in for around 7,500 chips with 
and Vincent Fouret had called with his 
. The turn and river were the 
and respectively, and Gromov sheepishly headed to the rail.

Dimitar Danchev must've thought his luck was never going to run out after he and Antoine Saout committed all their chips pre flop in a 75,000-chip pot; the former held aces to the latter's kings, you see.
The reigning PCA champ was loathed though at a board that ran out 
to make Saout a winning set. After a countdown it was confirmed that Danchev was out. Don't feel too sorry for him, he did just win $1,859,000 in paradise a couple of weeks ago.

Eugene Katchalov started the preflop betting round with a min-raise to 400, a raise that saw the next two player fold, Stephane Bourson call, Grzegorz Derkowski call (on the button), Francois Scapula call (small blind) and Olivier Ferrage call too (big blind). Probably not the action Katchalov expected!
Flop: 
- The play checked around to Bourson and he bet 800. Derkowski folded but the other active players called.
Turn: 
– Again, the action passed to Bourson and he took the lead with a more substantial 3,000 bet. This time around, only Ferrage called.
River: 
– Ferrage, now heads-up, checked for a third time and Bourson sat upright before resigning himself to checking behind.
Bourson mucked as Ferrage revealed the for a pair of aces.

Vanessa Rousso and Ilan Boujenah are sitting side-by-side, having therefore been forced to battle one another for pots frequently this afternoon. And now Rousso has recruited Boujenah to play a game of backgammon on her iPad, thus giving the pair another way to match wits.
That game just took a turn for the worse for Rousso, as both players are in the midst of bearing off, and Boujenah just rolled double 2's to enable him to remove four more checkers.
Meanwhile, Rousso was raising to 550 from middle position, picking up three callers in the hijack, cutoff, and big blind. The flop came 
, and when checked to Rousso fired a bet of 1,500, forcing folds all around and giving her the pot.
She stacked the chips with one hand while tapping to roll again with the other, hoping her next turn works out as well as that hand.

Martin Jacobson and Bartlomiej Ryszard Machon tangled in a pot that left the latter with just 800 chips to play with.
Around 2,900 had made in into the middle by the time the two players hit the turn of a 
board. Jacobson led for 1,550 from the big blind and Machon called to see the river. The Swede bet 3,400 here and Macon called and mucked upon seeing 
.
