Vuilleumier With Grace

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Very active at the table in the last few hands, Alexandre Vuilleumier opened from the hijack to 2,500. He was only called by one of the chip leaders of the tournament, Eric Sfez, who was in the big blind.

On the flop K36, Vuilleumier made a continuation bet of 1,700. Sfez called, then checked on the turn 4. Vuilleumier checked back with a graceful movement of the hand. He was a little bit more sober on the river 2, but he checked back too.

Without much conviction, Sfez flipped 109. Not enough to take the pot, as Vuilleumier had AJ. But even with the few chips he won, Vuilleumier was eliminated moments later.

Guo Out-Pips Tamasauskas

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Picking up the action on the A72J turn, there was about 13,000 in the middle and Meng Guo checked before Vladas Tamasauskas checked back.

When the J rolled off on the river, Guo led for 3,200, and Tamasauskas raised to 13,600. Guo looked puzzled and paused for only a brief moment before flicking in the call.

Tamasauskas tabled A9, for aces and jacks nine-kicker but was out-kicked by one when Guo showed A10.

With the best pair, Benitez easily doubled up after the river 2.
