Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mehdi Rebai raised to 60,000 from middle position, then Savvas Mitsikouridis in the small blind three-bet to 120,000. Rebai went deep into the tank, using a few time bank extensions before moving all-in for roughly 650,000. Mitsikouridis snap-called.

Mehdi Rebai: A♠K♠ All in
Savvas Mitsikouridis: A♦K♥

Both players had the same hand so they split the pot on 3♣2♠7♦9♦5♥. "Even in Cannes, acting doesn't work", Rebai joked after the hand.

Savvas Mitsikouridis	1,050,000 310,000	310,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On the feature table, Paul Tedeschi raised to 30,000 from early position but Giovanni Renna to his left three-bet to 80,000. All the other players folded to Tedeschi who moved all-in for 445,000. Renna snap-called with his last 265,000.

Giovanni Renna: A♣Q♣ All in
Paul Tedeschi: A♥K♦

Renna found a flush draw on a flop of 6♥2♣9♣. The 7♥ turn kept Tedeschi in the lead, but the 5♣ river completed Renna's flush and he secured a double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Giovanni Renna	570,000 375,000	375,000
Paul Tedeschi	180,000 265,000	265,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Richard Geyer in the cutoff opened to 30,000 but Anthony Lesoismier on the button three-bet to 75,000. The blinds folded and Geyer made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♠Q♥6♥ and Lesoismier continued for 55,000. Geyer check-raised for more than Lesoismier's stack, and the Frenchman eventually called off his last 215,000.

Anthony Lesoismier: K♣Q♦ All in
Richard Geyer: A♣A♦

Lesoismier called with two pair but Geyer had a better two pair with aces. The 4♦6♦ runout changed nothing and Lesoismier was eliminated, like Matthew Nelson a few minutes before him.
