Alan Bono opened from early position but Jose Carlos Abreu to his left three-bet to 80,000. Christian Alilovic in the cutoff four-bet to 225,000 and he made Bono fold. However Abreu five-bet all-in for 585,000. Alilovic made the call.
Jose Carlos Abreu: Q♠Q♣
Christian Alilovic: 9♦9♥
Abreu stood up when he discovered that he had the best hand. But his smile disappeared when Alilovic flopped quads on 5♣9♠9♣A♦J♦ to send him to the rail.
Gennaro Russo moved all-in for 140,000 from the hijack, then Diego Furlanetto three-bet all-in for 145,000 from the button and he made the blinds fold.
Gennaro Russo: 4♣4♠
Diego Furlanetto: Q♣Q♦
Furlanetto flopped a set on 3♣Q♥10♥3♦J♦, so Russo was eliminated in 76th place for €2,340.
Back in May, Mohamed Iche was crowned the champion of the 2024 WSOP-C Paris €1,200 Main Event at Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris to take home his first WSOP circuit ring and €150,000.
It was quite the week for Iche here in Paris, who wasn't content with a second-place finish in the €550 WSOP-C Cup for €30,288, following that up by going one better to take the trophy in the Main Event. Iche defeated Jonathan Bonnin in a relatively short-heads up battle.
