Simon Higgins Eliminated in 14th Place (€41,100)
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Ghionoiu opened the hand with a raise to 48,000 from the hijack. Simon Higgins on the button made the call. Big blind Charles Carrel squeezed to 160,000 and Ghionoiu made the call.
Higgins now moved all in foor 453,000 and Carrel asked for a count, something the dealer mistakenly heard as call. When she did give Carrel the count, and the Brit had informed himself how much Ghionoiu had (1.3 million to start the hand), he moved all in. Ghionoiu folded right away, later claiming to have had.
Simon Higgins: 
Charles Carrel: 
The board ran out 
and Higgins left in 13th place, taking home €41,100 for the effort.
