Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alexandre Landron moved all in from under the gun for 8,300 and Kostya Zaks three-bet to 15,000. Aurelie Reard took some time to consider her options before moving all in for around 60,000.

Action folded back to Zaks, who took some time to think the position through before moving the rest of his chips into the middle, around 50,000 in total.

Alexandre Landron: J♠9♠ All in
Kostya Zaks: K♥Q♦ All in
Aurelie Reard: 10♣10♥

Reard's pair of tens were ahead, and remained so after the A♠3♥4♥ flop and 7♦ turn. However the J♥ rolled off on the river to put Landron into the lead with a pair of jacks and hand him a triple up.

Reard had to console herself with winning the more substantial side pot with her pocket tens versus Zaks' king-high, sending him to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player opened to 2,200 from early position and was called by the player in the next seat, Chuc Hoang on the button and Franck Jacon in the big blind.

On the J♥6♥5♦ flop, action was checked to Hoang, who put out a bet of 4,500, only to be faced with an all-in check-raise by Jacon to 14,500.

Both of the other opponents folded, and Hoang made the quick call after checking the amount of the all-in.

Franck Jacon: 8♥7♠ All in
Chuc Hoang: J♦9♦

Jacon had an up and down straight draw versus Hoang's top pair, and insufficient help arrived on the K♣ turn or 8♣ river, Hoang's pair of jacks taking the pot versus Jacon's pair of eights.

Jade Kieu opened to 2,000 under the gun and received calls from Kuljinder Sidhu and Paul Runcan in middle position, and Jeremy Regalado in the big blind.

On the Q♥3♥4♠ flop, Regalado led out with a bet of 5,000. Kieu called, Sidhu folded and Runcan called.

The 9♣ rolled off on the turn and Regalado moved all in for 14,900. Kieu called and Runcan folded.

Jeremy Regalado: K♣Q♣ All in
Jade Kieu: K♦K♥

Regalado's top pair queens were in trouble versus Kieu's pocket kings, and the 5♣ river did not provide him with an unlikely escape, Kieu scooping the pot and sending Regalado to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Cedric Ghanassia opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 4,200 from chipleader Jean-Paul Charbit. The small blind cold-called, and Ghanassia also called.

Action was checked to Charbit on the Q♣5♦3♦ flop, who fired out a huge overbet of 225,000. The small blind quickly folded, but Ghanassia, looking perplexed, thought the spot over before moving the rest of his chips, around 65,000, into the middle.

Cedric Ghanassia: K♦Q♥ All in
Jean-Paul Charbit: A♥A♦

Ghanassia's top pair queens had run into Charbit's aces, and he was not saved by the J♠ turn and J♦ river, allowing Charbit to claim another scalp and add to his already huge stack.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a board of 4♠10♥Q♠A♣ with 21,800 in the pot, Adrien Sanz shoved from middle position for 14,900. Omar Lakhdari in the cutoff immediately flipped over his cards to call with a slightly shortest stack.

Omar Lakhdari: K♣J♥ All in
Adrien Sanz: K♠10♠

Lakhdari had the best straight possible, so he doubled up after the 10♣ turn. After this hand, Sanz was left with only 200. He was eliminated shortly after.

Freddy Krief: A♣4♦ All in
Ulysse Harry: K♥Q♥

Krief shoved with two pair, but he ran into Harry's flush and was eliminated after the Q♣ river.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

While Michel Leibgorin is approaching 200,000 chips, Benoit Grobocopatel in the cutoff opened to 1,000. He was called by Aurelie Reard on the button and Thomas "Inaus" Santerne in the big blind.

All three of them checked the 4♦6♥5♦ flop. But after Santerne checked the 9♦ turn, Grobocopatel bet 1,700. Reard folded, but Inaus raised to 6,200.

After a short discussion between both players, Grobocopatel raised to 16,000. Santerne then moved all-in and Grobocopatel called.

Thomas Santerne: 5♥5♣ All in
Benoit Grobocopatel: K♦10♦

Santerne flopped a set, but Grobocopatel hit a flush on the turn. The 8♥ river didn't change anything and Santerne was eliminated. He is on his way to reenter the tournament.

Maxime Taldir

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On a board of K♥9♣7♦Q♣, Kande Dembele in the hijack moved all-in for 41,000 after Mark Helou in the cutoff bet 11,000.

"I'm going to fold," Helou said a few times before changing his mind. "Let's go, if you have it I give it to you" he added while making the call, being the player at risk for 30,500.

Mark Helou: K♣Q♥ All in
Kande Dembele: J♣10♦

Dembele hit a straight on the turn, so Helou with two pair was eliminated after the 9♦ river.
