Yaiche Calls

Basil Yaiche was faced with a 6,000-chip bet on a board of {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Perplexed, he began asking his opponent a few questions, but none of them was answered. Finally, Yaiche made the call, and his opponent tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a flush.

Yaiche mucked, and his stack shrunk to 59,000 chips.

Vanessa Selbst - Eliminated

Philipp Gruissem has just joined us here at the Aviation Club de France, and he's now sitting where Vanessa Selbst started the day. According to Tristan Wade, Selbst moved all in holding {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and was crushed by Mickael Layani's {3-}{2-} on a board of {5-}{3-}{3-} two diamonds. The turn was a deuce, giving Lavani a full house and eliminating Selbst from the tournament.

Dan O'Brien exited during Level 3. According to tablemates Andrew Seidman and Todd Terry, Marko Neumann opened preflop, a second player called, and O'Brien three-bet to 2,200. Both players called, and flop came {q-}{3-}{2-} rainbow. O'Brien fired 4,200, Neumann min-raised to 8,400, and only O'Brien called.

The turn was another queen, and O'Brien check-called 9,000 from Neumann. The river was a {6-}, and O'Brien checked. Neumann moved all in, O'Brien called, and Neumann tabled two threes for a set. O'Brien mucked ace-queen and headed for the exit.

Duhamel Five-Bets

Andrew Lichtenberger got things going with a raise to 525 in middle position. 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel three-bet to 1,375 on his direct left, and a third gentleman on Duhamel's direct left four-bet to 3,000 even.

The action folded to Lichtenberger who folded, and Duhamel went into the tank. He reached for a handful of chips, including a pink T5,000 chip, and five-bet to 6,850. His opponent immediately folded, and Duhamel took down the pot.
