Unibet Poker ambassador Pierre Menes was among the most recently eliminated players. We didn't catch the hand but the Frenchman said that he got his last 18,000 chips in preflop with 
and ran straight into the pocket aces of an opponent.

Paul Testud has entered the competition over on table 19 and the very same just provided an interesting hand between Michel Segui and Anthony Giangrasso. Joining the action on the 
turn, the player in the big bling checked and Giangrasso led for 1,625. Segui raised to 4,375 from the button and only Giangrasso called from under the gun.
The 
river saw Giangrasso check-raise from 10,000 to 20,600 and he was reluctantly called by Segui who then shook his head when he got shown the 
. Segui has about 35,000 left while his opponent moved up to three times the starting stack.

Blinds: 300/600

In the very last hand before going into the break, while pretty much all tables were already done, Fabian Stache was still involved in a big pot and the move of the Belgian went terribly wrong. On the 
turn, Stache had checked in the cutoff and Kleiven fired 7,000.
Stache stared at his opponent for some time and then announced all in for his last 20,200 chips. Kleiven snapped him off in under one second and the Belgian knew he was screwed, the expression in the face spoke more than a thousand words. Stache only had the 
and Kleiven flipped over 
.
The Norwegian joked "a five on the river, just my luck" but the dealer burned and turned the 
instead. Seat open!

Pierre Menes didn't go broke preflop with ace-king versus pocket aces, but rather on the flop after calling a four-bet to 7,000 according to Julien Sitbon. It was the latter that pushed him all in after a flop of 
with two diamonds once Menes had bet 6,000 out of the big blind with much behind.

It has not really been a pleasant day at the office for Jonathan Rozema thus far. He scored a double up when he was down to less than 10,000 to get back up to 16,000 in the previous level but the same downfall happened again. And there was a deja vu.
In a limped pot, the Dutchman bet the 
flop and then moved all in for his last 6,100 on the turn. Kalju Kratovits gave it some thought on the button but folded, then Francois Loic made the call out of the big blind with the 
. Rozema had a flush draw as well with the 
and doubled up with a straight thanks to the 
river.

He did it again. In the showdown after the 
flop when Faycal Bensidhoum got the remainder of his less-than 20 big blind stack in, Joachim Kleiven said "just my luck" when entering the showdown with the better hand. The Norwegian had the and Bensidhoum only flipped over 
. Both the 
turn and 
river blanked and the Frenchman quickly departed with his media ID.
Only one minute later, Olivier Faure busted another short stack in Cedric Angosto with versus 
preflop. The board ran out 
and Angosto left smiling, fully aware that it had been too many outs to dodge after the flop.
