Homann Short-Circuiting Cescut
Guillaume Cescut opened for 45,000, and the table folded around to Sebastian Homann in the small blind who reraised to 130,000, pushing out both Sebastien Comte in the big blind and Cescut.
Cescut tried again on the following hand, again raising to 45,000, this time from under the gun. It folded to Homann again, and once again he reraised to 130,000. The blinds got out, and once again Cescut decided against continuing.
De la Gorce Trying to Change Course
Guillaume de la Gorce has become the short stack here as eight-handed play continues. Just now he open-shoved from the button and got no callers, offering a sheepish smile to his opponents at the crescent-shaped table as he added a few chips to his stack.
De la Gorce has some work to do if he wants to keep smiling. He has about 410,000 at present.
Julien Labussiere Eliminated in 8th Place (€25,356)
Julien Labussiere pushed all in from the cutoff seat for his last 342,000, and it folded to Sebastian Homann in the big blind. Homann checked his cards, then said he was calling the raise. Cards on their backs…
Homann 
Labussiere 
Labussiere had the preflop advantage, but the first three community cards -- 
-- took that away, giving the hard-charging Homann two pair. Labussiere still harbored hopes to improve to a straight or perhaps spike a king, but the turn was the 
and the river the 
, and the young Frenchman has been eliminated in eighth place.
Homann's stacks keep getting higher and higher. He's well above 2 million now.
Hard-Charging Homann
Dominik Nitsche opened with a raise to 45,000 from middle position, and Sebastian Homann, sitting on Nitsche's left, called the raise. It folded to Guillaume de la Gorce in the big blind who called as well.
The flop came 
. It checked to Homann who studied a moment before betting 52,000. De la Gorce called, then Nitsche called as well.
The turn was the 
. Once more it checked to Homann, who this time also checked.
The river was the 
. De la Gorce checked, and Nitsche took some time before checking as well. Homann then fired a bet of 128,000, forcing de la Gorce out, but Nitsche made the call.
Homann showed 
for two pair, and Nitsche mucked. Homann increases his lead even further to 2.2 million, while Nitsche slips below the 1 million-chip mark.
Williamsson Out-Flips Cescut
Johan Williamsson raised to 45,000, and next to act, Guillaume Cescut three-bet to 110,000. After a moment, Williamsson shoved for about 480,000 in total. And Cescut called to take the flip.

The 
flop immediately put Williamsson in the lead, and the 
turn and 
river saw him double through safely on the last hand of the level.

Compte Shoving
Down to about 200,000, Sebastien Compte shoved from the small blind when the action had folded to him. Johan Williamsson quickly gave up his big blind and Compte won the pot.
He's still dangerously low with about ten big blinds.
