Youssef Zereg Eliminated in 9th Place (€132,800)
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 280,000 from the button before Youssef Zereg three-bet jammed for 985,000 out of the small blind. When it got back to Eychenne, he quickly called to put Zereg at risk.
Youssef Zereg: A♠5♣
Thomas Eychenne: 6♠6♣
Zereg needed to find the ace or he would be the first to be eliminated from the final table.
A flop of 6♦3♠7♦ came down to give Eychenne a set, although Zereg actually increased his amount of outs with a straight draw. However, Zereg was drawing dead on the 7♠ turn as Eychenne improved to a boat. A meaningless J♠ landed on the river, and Zereg headed to the rail to collect his ninth-place payout.
