David Salituro

Manuel Roca and Benjamin Souriau were heads-up on a flop of 10♠Q♠9♣ when Souriau got his last 80,000 in the middle from the hijack against Roca in the big blind.

Benjamin Souriau: 10♣10♥ All in
Manuel Roca: Q♥Q♣

"Oh my God, that's disgusting," tablemate Ramsey Lababidi said as Souriau found himself on the wrong end of a set-over-set cooler. The board ran out 8♠7♣ and Souriau was eliminated.

"Say sorry while you're stabbing him in the heart," Lababidi joked with Roca as he stacked up the massive pot.

Calum Grant

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Big stack Franck Rene opened to 7,000 from early position before Eric Masini moved all in for 28,000 on his direct left. Action folded to Cyprien Chassagne, who four-bet to 91,500, leaving himself around 10,000 behind. Rene rejammed, and Chassagne put in the rest of the chips, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the spot.

Eric Masini: K♠K♦ All in
Cyprien Chassagne: A♦Q♥ All in
Franck Rene: Q♠Q♦

Masini was the favorite to triple up, while Chassagne needed to find an ace to survive.

Somehow, the final queen appeared in the deck on the Q♣8♠7♣ flop to make Rene the favorite. The J♣ turn and 4♣ runout put out four to a flush, but neither player held a club so Rene secured the two eliminations.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Balazs Biri raised to 8,000 in early position, Olivier Dinand moved all in for 40,000 in middle position, and Biri called after some deliberation.

Balazs Biri: Q♥J♥

The flop came 8♥5♣6♥ and Biri picked up a flush draw to go with his overcards. The 7♥ turn completed Biri's flush, and while Dinand made a set on the 10♣ river it wasn't enough to avoid elimination.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Robert Schiffbauer raised to 8,000 in early position and Emanuel Flesner called in the cutoff.

The flop came 5♠8♦8♠ and Schiffbauer bet 10,000. Flesner called to see the 9♥ turn.

Schiffbauer then bet 18,000 and Flesner again called. The river was the K♣ and Schiffbauer slid forward a bet of 44,000.

Flesner snap-called, believing he was all in for his last 46,500, and turned over A♠A♦. Schiffbauer had 6♠6♦ and argued that he should get 1,500 back since Flesner just called his river bet.

"I believe you," Flesner said as he virtually doubled up.

At the same time at another table, Stephen Nahm moved all in from the small blind on a board of 8♠6♦4♥5♦4♦ and received no callers. Uri Gilboa then picked up Nahm's cards and revealed 10♣7♣.

The floor was called over and Gilboa was given a penalty for exposing Nahm's cards. Tournament officials also told Nahm that he's cut off from ordering any more drinks tonight.
