Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Sebastien Boyard
Sebastien Boyard

Down to 201,000, Sebastien Boyard shoved all in from first position. It folded around to Alexandre Riccomi on the button and he tanked for a bit before calling. Big blind Alexandre Andre Henri De Zutter condired calling for a bit as well, but folded in the end.

Sebastien Boyard: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Alexandre Riccom: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

What started as a coinflip, shifted to Riccom being a heavy favorite after the {7-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop.

The {3-Clubs} on the turn and {10-Clubs} on the river failed to improve Boyard and he made his exit in 14th place. Down to just 13 players now, still two tables.
