With the pot already up to over 35,000 and a board that read {4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{J-Spades}, Said El Yousfi was facing an all-in bet for his tournament life. The culprit was Belgium's Cheng-Wei Yin, who put El Yousfi for effectively 15,000 all in.

It took El Yousfi nearly four minutes to come to a decision, then decided on a call. Yin showed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and slowly, El Yousfi tabled the winner with {A-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Pamela Graffouillere Eliminated

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Preflop, Pamela Graffouillere had three-bet to 3,700 and got no less than three callers. On the {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Graffouillere bet 10,000 and called off her remaining stack of 35,000 when Tarek Bouchenna shoved all in.

Graffouillere held {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, but unfortunately for her Bouchenna had flopped a set with {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Neither the {10-Spades} turn nor {9-Clubs} river helped her, and she was eliminated.
