Several former big stacks were spotted in the list of recent casualties and among them was also Kevin Frame. A quick look at his former table revealed a far bigger stack for Unibet ambassador Arnaud Enselme, who leaped above 200k in chips.
According to the Frenchman, he opened to 2,500 in the cutoff and the button called. Frame three-bet to 12,500 and then called a shove by Enselme with ace-king for around 60,000. It was a flip versus pocket tens and another ten in the window secured the knockout.

The pace of eliminations is certainly slower than in the previous regular starting day as some 68 players out of 152 contenders remain near the end of level nine on Day 1b.
The UK's Hasmukh Khodiyara avoided the knockout when his 
flopped a set of sixes to double through Serdar Demircan. Both players are now pretty much spot on for the average stack and aim to survive another two levels until bagging and tagging.
