Tristan Forge Eliminated in 2nd Place (MAD 420,000/€38,926)

Ryan Lashmar

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Tristan Forge opened to 1,200,000 from the button with Q♦J♦ and Alexandre Le Vaillant defended from the big blind with A♦8♣.

The flop came A♠8♦10♥. Le Vaillant checked, Forge bet 800,000, Le Vaillant raised to 4,100,000 and Forge moved all in for just over 18,000,000. Le Vaillant, who covered Forge only be 800,000, made the call.

Tristan Forge: Q♦J♦
Alexandre Le Vaillant: A♦8♣

In a very similar situation to an earlier all-in hand during heads up play, Le Vaillant had a strong made hand and had to fade the double-gutshot straight draw of Forge to win the tournament. Unlike the first time, Le Vaillant's two pair held when the rest of the board ran out 10♠Q♣. Forge became the final elimination of the tournament after missing his draw and Le Vaillant became the latest Unibet DeepStack Open Main Event Champion.

Henri Dupont Eliminated in 3rd Place (MAD 290,000/€26,877)

Ryan Lashmar

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Henri Dupont moved all in from the button for his last 5,600,000 and found a caller in Alexandre Le Vaillant in the big blind who had a covering stack.

Henri Dupont: K♠10♣
Alexandre Le Vaillant: A♣K♣

Le Vaillant was well ahead with a bigger king and remained so on the Q♦8♦3♠4♣A♠ runout. Dupont shook hands with his opponent and made his exit in third place as Le Vaillant scooped a pot worth nearly two thirds of the total chips in play.

Players are now heads up.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Alexandre Le Vaillant opened to 600,000 from the button and Julien Vecchioli defended from the big blind.

The flop came 9♠6♣3♠ and Vecchioli shoved for 3,400,000. Le Vaillant thought about his decision for about a minute before making the call to put Vecchioli at risk.

Julien Vecchioli: J♣9♥
Alexandre Le Vaillant: 7♦7♣

Vecchioli was in excellent shape to pull off the double up with top pair, but was suddenly drawing dead when Le Vaillant hit a set on the 7♠ turn. Vecchioli gave his opponent a hug as the inconsequential K♦ river was dealt and made his exit in fourth place as Le Vaillant pulled in a sizable pot, taking the chip lead once again going into three-handed play.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Soufiane Messadek limped in from the small blind and Alexandre Le Vaillant raised to 900,000 from the big blind. Messadek moved all in for 4,800,000 and Le Vaillant nearly beat him into the pot.

Soufiane Messadek: A♦4♦
Alexandre Le Vaillant: J♠J♥

The board ran out K♦5♠K♠3♣7♠. Le Vaillant held with pocket jacks and surged back up the chip counts while Messadek was sent to the rail in fifth place.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Kaddour moved all in from the button for his last 1,300,000 and was called by Soufiane Messadek in the small blind who covered.

Kaddour: A♣J♥
Soufiane Messadek: K♣Q♣

Messadek pulled ahead on the Q♦10♣8♦ flop with the queen coming right in the window. Kaddour did still have outs in the form of a live ace and a gutshot straight draw but they never materalized when the rest of the board ran out 6♠4♥. Kaddour was sent to the rail in 6th place while Messadek secured his second final table knockout of the day and a healthy pot to go along with it.

Julien Vecchioli opened to 350,000 from early position and Alexandre Hobam moved all in for 2,600,000 from the button. Soufiane Messadek then moved all in for 5,000,000 from the small blind, folding out Vecchioli.

Alexandre Hobam: J♠J♣
Soufiane Messadek: A♦K♣

The board ran out 10♣7♦7♣K♥3♠. Messadek had turned a king to pull ahead of Hobam's pocket jacks and held on the river to secure the elimination and surge up the chip counts while Hobam's deep run came to an end in 7th place.

Jeremie Canetti: A♠6♥

On the first hand of the final table, Adrien Amorella moved all in for 1,100,000 from under the gun and was called by Julien Vecchioli on the button who had a covering stack.

Adrien Amorella: A♣K♠
Julien Vecchioli: 5♠5♥

Ryan Lashmar

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With three players seeing a board of 9♦2♥10♦, Tristan Forge checked in the big blind, Julien Vecchioli checked from early position and Samuel Baruk bet 250,000. Forge called and Vecchioli got out of the way.

The turn came the K♠. Forge checked, Baruk bet 500,000 and Forge moved all in, covering Baruk's stack of approximately 2,500,000. Baruk made the call and was at risk.

Samuel Baruk: Q♠10♠
Tristan Forge: Q♣J♠

Baruk was in rough shape with only chop outs against Forge who had turned a straight. The 9♣ river was a blank for both players and Baruk was eliminated on the final table bubble while Forge took down both the pot and the chip lead going into the final table.

Guillaume Darcourt: Q♠J♣
Samuel Baruk: A♠A♥
