Bindel Knocked Out

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mickael Thomas bet 8,000 from early position and was called by Jacek Pustula. Luc Bindel moved all-in for his remaining 26,000 chips. Thomas four-bet to 50,000 which was enough for Pustula to fold.

Mickael Thomas: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Luc Bindel: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades} in the window was enough to send Bindel to the rail as the board ran out {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Thomas is amongst the chip leaders in the room.

Double-up for Jack

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lloyd Jack moved all-in for 36,000 and was called by Luc Bindel

Lloyd Jack: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Luc Bindel: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

An interesting flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} gave Bindel the lead with bottom pair. The {10-Spades} turned things around for Jack as he hit the Broadway straight. Bindel did not house-up on the river as the {7-Diamonds} landed to confirm Jack's double-up

Titanic Tussle Between Thomas and Pustula

Level 11 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With 80,000 in the middle and a board of {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Mickael Thomas bet 30,000 on the turn. Jacek Pustula pushed all-in for 167,500.

Mickael was stuck in the tank until the floor was called by Pustula. With five seconds remaining of the tournament director's count Mickael made a reluctant fold.
