Three players in the field today could claim to have earned more than half a million dollars in live tournament earnings, while four of them could claim nothing. But the amount won in the past is not always an accurate measure of how much they’ll win in the future…
Hugo Pingray raised to 50,000 from middle position and Eilert Eilertsen three-bet to 101,000 in the next seat. Remi Castaignon then cold four-bet to 275,000 in the big blind. Pingray thought for about a minute and moved all in, Eilertsen got out of the way and Castaignon said, "How much? A million? I call."

The flop was good for Pingray but the came on the turn to an audible from the tournament room. The changed nothing and now Castaignon has about one sixth of the remaining chips with 20 players left.
Jeffrey Hakim calls Eilert Eilertsen's all-in reraise
Eilert Eilertsen opened for 51,000 from the cutoff, then Jeffrey Hakim reraised to 125,000 from the small blind. As soon as Remi Castaignon let go of his hand in the big blind, Eilertsen set out a column of red chips with a thud while announcing he was all in.

Not too long after suffering that setback versus Jeffrey Hakim, Eilert Eilertsen was reraising all in from the small blind over a 50,000 open by Remi Castaignon from under the gun. Castaignon didn't think too long before calling, and Eilertsen was at risk.
Castaignon showed while Eilertsen had , and after the community cards rolled out Eilertsen had doubled back.
With the board reading , Noel Gaens checked and Jeffrey Hakim bet 189,000. Remi Castaignon flat-called and so did Gaens, suddenly this pot was looking huge.
The on the river looked like it would mean more action but instead it was checked around. Gaens showed for a missed flush draw, Hakim's had been counterfeited on the river but he could probably breathe a sigh of relief as Castaignon showed for the turned straight and scooped the pot.
