Eychenne Battling, Said Eliminated
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Left with just one big blind due to a previous altercation, Thomas Eychenne was forced all in from the big blind, and at risk versus Miguel Franco.
Thomas Eychenne: K♥8♦
Miguel Franco: Q♠J♠
Both players connected with the Q♣K♦6♠ flop, but crucially for Eychenne, he still held the lead.
The 2♦ turn and 7♣ river bore no effect, and Eychenne remained alive.
A few hands later, he moved all in for 70,000 and was put at risk again. This time, it was Hugo Blaison trying to reduce the field by one.
Thomas Eychenne: 9♣7♣
Hugo Blaison: 8♠5♣
Once again, Eychenne survived, winning with nine-high as the dealer spread a A♣A♦6♣A♠J♥ board.
While that hand was taking place, Tahar Said was eliminated on another table.
