Le Floch Gets Sticky With Waxman

Level 31 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded around to Nicolas Le Floch on the button and he decided to limp in. Matthew Waxman was in the small blind and also limped in. Philippe D'Auteuil was in the big blind and checked his option.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and action checked to Le Floch on the button who bet 2,700,000. Waxman called and D'Auteuil folded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} and both players checked to the river, which was the {2-Clubs}. Waxman thought for a moment, and even reached into his stack for chips, but opted to check again. Le Floch paused and bet 7,600,000 this time. Waxman cut out chips, but then appeared to be close to folding. After another minute, Waxman called.

Le Floch rapped the table and said, "Good call" and showed {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for ten-high. Waxman tabled {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for king high and scooped the pot.

Mingzhe Zhang Eliminated by Ari Engel

Level 31 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 200,000 ante
Mingzhe Zhang
Mingzhe Zhang

Ari Engel raised to 4,500,000 from the hijack and Mingzhe Zhang moved all in for 38,700,000 on the button.

Engel went into the tank for several minutes before deciding to call.

Engel tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} while Zhang showed {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Zhang was dominated, and the flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} was not helpful, although it gave him some opportunities to chop the hand.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river was the {5-Clubs}, sending Zhang to the rail in 14th place.

Local Favourite Kevin Rivest Ousted

Level 31 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 200,000 ante
Kevin Rivest
Kevin Rivest

Local pro, Kevin Rivest from Montreal, Canada, was just eliminated in 15th place. Rivest showed no fear as he battled hard throughout the day getting involved in many pots with the chip leaders. Unfortunately, in a recent hand against Philippe D'Auteuil, Rivest got all his chips in the middle in a dominated position. The two players were all in before the flop and Rivest didn't like his chances when the cards were shown.

Rivest: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
D'Auteuil: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Rivest's dream of being crowned the partypoker MILLION North America Main Event champion at his local poker club were dashed.

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos got his remaining 32,000,000 chips in the middle against Jonathan Bussieres before the flop. When the hands were turned over, it was a classic race scenario.

Kiriopoulos: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Bussieres: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Bussieres remained out in front after the flop came {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}, but Kiriopoulos would catch up when the {Q-Spades} landed on the turn. When the {5-Diamonds} hit the river, Bussieres sealed the deal with a full house and Kiriopoulos was eliminated just before the dinner break.
