Amourette Can't Call A Shove

Hand #67: Antoine Amourette opened to 100,000 from the button and Per Linde called. Linde check-called a bet of 120,000 on the {J-Spades} {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} flop but folded to a 200,000 bet on the {A-Hearts} turn.

Hand #68: Next hand saw Amourette opened to 90,000 before Per Linde pushed all-in for 1.507 million. It was a really big push, perhaps giving away the strength of Linde's hand in that he felt his hand was most likely good but did not want to reraise and have Amourette 4-bet him all-in. Amourette went perhaps into the deepest tank of his life as a call would cost him most of his stack.

Theo Jorgensen apologized but said he was going to have to call time, Amourette replied that it was fine before mucking his hand.

Chip Leaders Continue To Clash

Hand # 60: Mickael Guenni raised to 99,000 and took the blinds on the first hand back.

Hand # 61: Theo Jorgensen raise to 85,000 with Per Linde calling on the button. Despite the odds, short-stacked Guenni opted for the fold. The flop was {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {7-Diamonds} and Jorgensen threw out a bet of 105,000. Linde managed to knock over a stack of his chips while raising to 275,000 but Jorgensen stopped being interested in the hand and folded.

As a double insult, a member of the TV crew then told Jorgensen to put on his hat the right way around...

Amourette Pulls Almost Even...

Hand #57:Theo Jorgensen raised to 78,000 but gave up when Fabrice Touil put in a reraise to 228,000.

Hand #58: Mickael Guenni raised to 89,000 from the small blind and won another pot.

Hand #59: Just before the end of the break, Jorgensen and Antoine Amourette played a big pot. Amourette raised a 50,000 bet on a {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop to 130,000. Jorgensen made the call before check-calling a bet of 200,000 on the {8-Clubs} turn. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Jorgensen checked once more, Amourette bet 300,000 and immediately the Dane was not happy.

"Ace-deuce? King-deuce? Are you really capable of 3-barreling here?"

Finally Jorgensen decided his hand was good and made the call, but Amourette showed {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} to scoop the biggest pot of the final table. Jorgensen drops to 2 million while Amourette is just behind him on 1.94 million

Nourredine Aïtaleb Eliminated in 6th (€93,910)

Per Linde opened to 65,000 from the button before Nourredine Aïtaleb reraised all-in from the small blind. With Fabrice Touil getting out of the way, Linde quickly said, "I call," turning over a dominating pair of {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} to Aïtaleb's {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}.

"Come on boy!" said the Frenchman, but the Poker Gods deserted him when the board came {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} to eliminate him in 6th place.

Linde on the other hand is now emerging as a real threat in this tournament having been at one stage, one card and one out from elimination.

Jorgensen And Linde Battle

Theo Jorgensen raised from late position once more to 75,000 but was stopped in his tracks when Per Linde made it 210,000 from the blinds.

Jorgensen gets the chips back in the next hand, raising to 75,000 to win the blinds.

It's passed across to Fabrice Touil who had been fairly quite of late, he declared all-in from the small blind. Mickael Guenni quickly surrendered his big blind.

Jorgensen gets a walk in the next hand from Guenni, the latter has slowed his aggression since that 3-bet from Jorgensen.

Ninety Nine Red Balloons

This is very remarkable, Mickael Guenni has kept raising to 99,000 every hand and he's got it through on each occasion so far, this is made all the more remarkable by the fact that no-one has called or raised him once.

Finally though, he made it 99,000 from the cutoff in Hand 47 and Theo Jorgensen reraised to 290,000 on the button.

Guenni finally mucked to lose his first hand in a long while.

This slowed Guenni down and he folded the next hand, Jorgensen opened to 75,000 and everyone folded.

Guenn And Bear It

Mickael Guenni has exploded, he raised Hand 44 and picked up the blinds and antes and then raised the next one as well with exactly the same result.

"You've got to be kidding..." said Theo Jorgensen.

"Come on Mike!" said Nourredine Aïtaleb.

The next hand was actually Guenni's big blind and Aïtaleb raised to 125,000. Everyone folded again but Aïtaleb looked disappointed as though he wanted to call his big oversized raise.
