Miguel Franco Eliminated in 20th Place (€32,350)

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

In the first hand of the day, Hugo Blaison opened to 80,000 in the hijack, and Jason Wheeler called in the cutoff. Next to act, Miguel Franco moved all in for 405,000. When the action returned to Blaison, he chose to move all in as well, and Wheeler folded.

Miguel Franco: AQ All in
Hugo Blaison: AJ

Franco was a big favourite to start his day with a double up, but the window card on the J4K saw the roles reversed.

The 6 and 9 completed the board, and Franco was up and out of his seat almost as soon as he had sat down for the day.
