Julien Viel Eliminated in 17th Place (€6,150)
Level 40
: Blinds 125,000/25,000, 250,000 ante
Gus Hansen opened to 900,000, and Nassim Rais called in the small blind, while Julien Viel moved all in for 375,000 from the big blind.
The 9♦8♠4♦ flop was checked to the 2♦ turn, where Rais check-folded versus a jam from Hansen.
Julien Viel: 7♦5♣
Gus Hansen: 10♦9♠
Viel needed some help, but the 4♠ river was a brick.
He hugged his brother Eric, wished the final table good luck, and departed.
