Alilovic Sent to the Rail

Maxime Taldir

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Oscar Chang opened to 50,000 from the hijack, then Miroslav Alilovic in the small blind three-bet all-in for approximately 450,000.

The big blind folded, and Chang went deep into the tank before making the call.

Miroslav Alilovic: Q♠Q♣ All in
Oscar Chang: A♥J♦

Alilovic's queens held on the 2♦K♥9♠ flop, but Chang hit the A♦ turn. As both players had even stacks, the dealer counted both stacks after the J♠ river. Alilovic was slightly covered, so he was eliminated.

Richard Hayes

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sonny Franco was all-in and at risk versus Sabare Atmani, with cards on their backs and chips in the middle.

Sonny Franco: 6♠6♥
Sabare Atmani: A♠J♠

Franco was ahead in a race with his pocket sixes, and although he had to fade straight and flush draw outs as well as overcards by the turn on K♠10♣4♥3♠, the 7♦ river was a brick to send him a double-up.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Atmani may have been tilted by the previous hand, as in the next he was all-in for his remaining 325,000 in the big blind versus Adrien Burgniard in the cutoff.

Sabara Atmani: 9♠3♦ All in
Adrien Burgniard: 10♥10♠

Atmani needed a miracle for his nine-high to overcome his opponent's pocket tens, and none arrived on the K♠J♦10♦3♠2♠ runout, Burgniard ending up with trip tens.

No Eighth Ring for Franco

Maxime Taldir

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Seven-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Sonny Franco was seen walking in the direction of the payout desk.

"There was an open to 65,000, called by the small blind and I called from the big blind with Q♦J♦," he explained. "On a flop of Qx8x9x, the initial raiser continued for 85,000, I check-raised all-in for 295,000, and he called with 10x10x. He hit a straight with the Jx river."

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Picking the action up on a board of A♣2♣Q♦8♦ in a hand between Yannice Bahri in the cutoff and Clement Delacroix in the big blind, Delacroix checked to his opponent, with around 225,000 in the pot.

Bahri slid out a bet of 100,000, and after some thought, Delacroix check-jammed for around 375,000. Bahri thought it through for quite some time, but eventually folded, showing A♦ as he did so. Delacroix flashed the 5♦ and raked in the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Laurent Polito was all-in for his last 300,000 and was at risk versus Adrien Burgniard.

Laurent Polito: A♣J♣ All in
Adrien Burgniard: A♥A♦

Polito had been unfortunate to run into Burgniard's aces and although some hope was provided by the 3♦Q♠10♣ flop and 9♣ turn, the 5♠ river was a brick to send Polito to the rail.

Maxime Taldir

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a flop of 9♠3♣K♠, Valentin Havasy bet 115,000 from the cutoff. He was called by Samy Barka on the button, but Olivier Armougon from the big blind check-raised 450,000. Havasy folded and Barka made the call.

Both players checked the K♦ turn, leading to the 4♠ river where Armougon bet 615,000.

Barka went into the tank. "It's the worst card river" he said to the dealer, adding had he probably had to call. He eventually did so, but ran into Armougon's full house with 9♦9♥. Barka revealed the A♠.

Richard Hayes

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Around 225,000 was in the middle in a hand between Mikael Ifergan in middle position, the player in the small blind and David Hu in the big blind.

Ifergan continued with a bet of 65,000, which only Hu called.

The 2♦ turn paired the board, and Hu changed approach, leading out with a bet of 80,000. Ifergan called.

On the K♦ river, Hu moved all in with the covering stack, putting maximum pressure on his opponent. Ifergan thought it through for quite some time before folding, leaving himself 575,000 behind.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Hu	1,400,000 950,000	950,000
