Runcan Doubles; Geci Gone After Leaving Himself Short

In a sizable pot of 525,000, Hugo De La Fouchardiere and Paul Runcan both checked the 2♣8♥K♦A♠ turn.

De La Fouchardiere, in the big blind, checked the Q♥ river as well, but Runcan had other ideas and slid in 325,000, leaving only 25,000 behind.

De La Fouchardiere talked to himself for a while before he made a call. Runcan turned over A♥Q♠ for two pair, and De La Fouchardiere's cards disappeared into the muck.

Over at another table, big blind Endrit Geci bet 325,000, the vast majority of his stack, on the 2♠A♥9♥2♣6♦ river against Chady Ojeil in middle position. Ojeil then moved all in, and Geci opted to fold.

Geci was left with 105,000, which he lost not much later to become the next elimination.
