No Help for Naujoks

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Sandra Naujoks
Sandra Naujoks

Team PokerStars Pro Sandra Naujoks has been eliminated. Short-stacked, she moved all in preflop with {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and was called by Pascal Leyo with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. The door card was an ace and although Naujoks picked up a gutshot, she couldn't hit it on the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board.

This leaves Matthias De Meulder as the only remaining Team Pro still in the tournament.

Horni Action

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

[Removed:237] just knocked out Claude Metais in the first of a spate of exits, Horni's A-K holding against the short stack's K-T.

Florian Ribouchon, on the same table as this action, knocked out PokerStars qualifier Roman Korenev with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} defeating {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} on a {2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} board.

Finally, Karim Abdelmoumene's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} eliminated Mihai Manole, the latter's {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} didn't stand a chance when the Frenchman flopped quads on a {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board.

Abdelmalek Lucky to Survive; Unlucky to Bust

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Rabah Ait Abdelmalek was short stacked and into shove mode, post bubble.

He was lucky to chop the first time he was all in; his ace-three chopping with Tobias Peters' ace-ten when two pairs ran out on the board.

Shortly after he shoved with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and was called by Walid Bou Habbib holding {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} to make the latter trips.

Take Off Your Coat, Stay Awhile

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The bubble having burst, action has picked up immediately following players' return from the break. Along with shenanigans.

Herve Santais was just now all in with his short stack against two opponents, Paul Guichard and Romeo Robert. The remaining two players were vying for the pot as the reached the turn with the board showing {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Meanwhile, Santais had stood and even put on his coat, suggesting his chances of keeping his seat and surviving the hand were dim.

Guichard bet 15,000 on fourth street and Robert called, then both checked the {K-Diamonds} river. Guichard showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, but his pair was beaten thanks to that river card as Robert tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Then with a bit of fanfare Santais revealed his cards one at a time… first the {7-Diamonds}… then… the {6-Diamonds}!

Santais had flopped the nut straight and rivered a flush. Needless to say, neither Guicard nor Robert appeared amused at the sight of Santais's hand. To be fair, we came on it in the middle and so can't say for sure whether or not Santais may have gone all in blind. In any case, he's now removed his coat and retaken his seat.

Said and Done: Said Basri Bubbles EPT Deauville

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Just as all the other players were heading off to their break, many hadn't noticed that there was still action going on over on table 9.

Christophe Lesage had opened to 8,000 preflop, getting called by David Susigan before Said Basri moved all in for his last 10,500. Yury Gulyy flat-called and since it was an under-raise Lesage and Susigan could also only call.

The {8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} board checked down the whole way and all four tabled their hands.

Lesage: {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Susigan: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}
Basri: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Gulyy: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Susigan took the pot and Basri finished in 121st place. Since the vast majority of the players had already gone on break, they'll receive a happy surprise when they return in about five to ten minutes.
