Sgorrano Loses Flip, Claws it Back, Then Busts Out
Action folded around to Marc Bougaret, who moved all in from the small blind for 2,300,000. Jérôme Sgorrano made the call in the big blind and had his opponent covered by a fine margin.
Marc Bougaret: 10♥10♠ 
Jérôme Sgorrano: A♠K♥
It was a classic race, one in which Bougaret won as his pocket tens held on a board of J♠5♦5♠8♥9♣. He won the pot and chipped up to close to 5,000,000, which left Sgorrano with just 125,000 left to play with.
The next hand, Sgorrano successfully found the double up when he called off his stack in the small blind against Thomas Bus' late position raise. Bus had J♦9♠, while Sgorrano had K♣7♠ and hit two pair on the Q♦6♠4♣K♦7♣ board to bring his stack up to 450,000.
The following hand, Sgorrano moved all in from the button and Kevin Belhamici called in the big blind to put Sgorrano at risk again. The cards were turned.
Jérôme Sgorrano: A♦4♥
Kevin Belhamici: J♠8♠
The flop came 10♠8♣9♠, giving Belhamici a pair and straight draw and Sgorrano a whole load of nothing. The turn came the 2♥ and river the 9♣. Belhamici won the pot and Sgorrano was eliminated in 39th place.
