Fialho Fells into Bouquet's Kings

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
David Fialho
David Fialho

Jorge Bouquet raised to 32,000 on the button and David Fialho three-bet to 90,000 in the small blind.

It folded back to Bouquet who quickly announced all in, putting Fialho at risk for a remaining stack worth 220,000. The latter snap-called:

David Fialho: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Jorge Bouquet: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Fialho didn't find any miracle on a board {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, improving Bouquet's hand into a full house, and made his way to the exit.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Francesco Moreno
Francesco Moreno

Belmehdi opened under the gun and Thierry Morel shoved next to him for 206,000. The rest of the table folded and they tabled their cards:

Thierry Morel: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Belmehdi: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The board revealed {q-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades} to give the gutshot straight to Morel on the river, who doubled his stack in the process.

In the other room, Adrien Sanz, who quadrupled his stack since the return of the dinner break, busted Francisco Moreno who already lost a bit chunk of his stack thanks to a straight flush.

Nuno Correia: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Miguel Couceiro: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Couceiro was drawing dead with his straight, facing the nut flush for Correia, who doubled his stack to reach the million-mark after the river bricked.

Dinesh Alt: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Cecile Ticherfatine: {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Jorge Bouquet: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

A few minutes earlier, Nelson Douard got eliminated in the room to finish in 22th place for €3,783.
