November Niner Pierre Neuville Eliminated
Two time EPT Main Event runner up and current November Niner Pierre Neuville has been eliminated from the tournament. Non other than high roller Mustapha Kanit was the one responsible for the Belgians departure.

on the river was there just to make things official. Neuville shook hands with Kanit and wandered off, the 72-yeah old routinier probably was on his way to play another tournament.
