Reil More Than Triples

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Said El Yousfi raised to 5,000 from early position and was called by Abdenbi Abida. Then, Peter Reil shoved for 34,100 from the button and Romain Paon called in the small blind, El Yousfi folded. Abida called as well and then folded the {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop to a bet worth 56,500 by Paon.

Reil: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Paon: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {9-Spades} turn gave Reil a straight and he tripled thanks to a blank {6-Clubs} river.

Khlifi, Grabsi, Saad, Sgorrano and Ouirini all Gone

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Within a few minutes, Ayoub Khlifi, Malek Grabsi, Toufik Ouirini, Alberto Saad and Jerome Sgorrano all busted.

Sgorrano failed with a king-high bluff against Barny Boatman and was then all in for 5,000 with pocket sevens. Alberto Saad reshoved with eights and Ekrem Sanioglu found pocket kings behind them to bust two players.

Grabsi exited almost at the same time from one table over and Ouirini's end came with pocket kings versus {A-}{K-}, an ace hit the board.

Francois Pirault

The top 27 spots get paid in this Main Event and the money won't be reached on Day 1. However, only 68 hopefuls still got chips out of 220 entries and Nicolas Sattler, Alexandra Gross as well as Francois Pirault were among the latest casualties.

Eschen Busts to Tadini

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It was a big flip and the raising war saw Anas Tadini with a squeeze to 30,000 before Jeremy Eschen then shoved for 90,000 from two seats over. Tadini took the flip with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and loudly announced it, also standing up. Some friends headed over while Eschen just flipped over his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and the {7-Hearts} right in the window let Tadini celebrate.

The rest of the board ran out {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Tadini scored a vital double up.
