Paul Guichard Doubles Through Arthur Conan

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Paul Guichard moved all in for 145,000 from the button and Arthur Conan called in the big blind.

Guichard: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Conan: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Guichard was ahead, but not for long as the flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. However the {4-Hearts} on the turn gave him a set and left Conan drawing dead. The river was the {8-Hearts} and Guichard doubled up.

Sebastien Compte Eliminated in 9th Place (€2,531)

Sebastien Compte - 9th Place (€2,531)

In the last hand before the break, Sebastien Compte moved all in for his last 125,000 chips. It folded to Paul Guichard in the big blind, who hadn't looked.

"Allez!" he said, pumping his arms as if psyching himself up for the sweat.

"Allez Paul," replied Sebastien.

"The first isn't bad," said Guichard in French to his opponent. He looked at the second card. He paused. He then pushed chips forwards to indicate a call.

Compte: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Guichard: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Compte was eliminated. All but three of the remaining eight players had left their seats for the 15-minute break, and perhaps will be wondering where Compte has gone when they return.

Arthur Conan - 9th Place (€4,460)

[Removed:432] raised to 35,000 from button. Arthur Conan three-bet all in for around 250,000 and Phu Truong four-bet all in himself from the big blind. [Removed:433] threw his hands in the air before folding.

Conan: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
[Removed:433]: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Conan shook his head as the flop came {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}. "Nine of spades," he asked for in French, but the turn was the {3-Hearts}.

Apparently it was Truong's turn to call for a card: "Five of spades," he said, and the river came the {5-Spades}, eliminating Conan.

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
