Tyler Foran

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alexandre Correia opened to 65,000 from early position and Thomas Santerne defended his big blind.

Santerne check-raised to 190,000 over a bet of 65,000 on the J♣10♥2♠ flop and was called.

Santerne fired out 490,000 on the 4♠ turn, leaving 10,000 behind. Correia went into the tank, and Santerne asked for the clock. As the countdown was about to begin, Correia called.

The last few chips went in on the 8♥ river and the cards were tabled.

Santerne tabled K♥J♦ for top pair, which bested his opponent's Q♣10♠.

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Igor Zolotukhin opened 60,000 in middle position, and Jeremie Canetti flatted on the button before Adrian State shoved his last 150,000 from the small blind. Zolotukhin re-raised all-in, forcing Canetti out and both hands were tabled.

Adrian State: A♥10♥
Igor Zolotukhin: A♦Q♠

State was dominated and the J♥8♣4♣ flop changed nothing, however, State took the lead on the 10♣ turn. Unfortunately for him though, the 9♥ river gave Zolotukhin a straight.

Laurent Leclerc raised to 70,000 from late position and picked up two calls before Maurizio Giuseppucci moved all in from the small blind for 210,000. Leclerc pushed over the top and the rest of the table folded.

Laurent Leclerc: 2♣2♠
Maurizio Giuseppucci: Q♣Q♠

The board ran out A♠3♠K♦10♦2♦.

"Nooooo!" shouted Giuseppucci as the deuce fell on the river. No, indeed. Leclerc won the pot and Giuseppucci was eliminated from the tournament.
