Polo Santoni Eliminated in 8th Place (168,000 MAD)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Polo Santoni & Paul
Polo Santoni & Paul

Vladimir Shabalin raised to 135,000 from the cutoff, Paul shoved all in from the small blind and so did Polo Santoni. Shabalin looked at his cards once more and then folded them. Santoni had the shorter stack with 725,000.

Paul: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Polo Santoni: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The window card was the {K-Diamonds} but then the rest of the flop became visible: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} to give Paul quad nines and Santoni needed the last king to survive in the tournament. The turn brought them the {7-Diamonds} and Paul shook the hand of Santoni even though the king on the river could change the whole outcome. The river completed the board with the {J-Diamonds}. Not the king Santoni wanted and he was eliminated after about 3 hours of 8-handed play and only ten minutes after the dinner break had finished. The French have lost another man in the battle to bring the title back to France.

Rony Halimi raised to 115,000 from late position and was called by Polo Santoni in the small blind and NFJM in the big blind.

They all checked through the {2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades} on the flop to the {j-Hearts} on the turn. Santoni checked, NFJM bet 125,000. Halimi asked how much it was, the dealer confirmed. Halimi called, Santoni folded.

The {K-Diamonds} on the river completed the board, after some careful consideration NFJM bet 300,000. Halimi tanked. He had a look at NFJM's stack.

"How much you have left?" Halimi asked NFJM. NFJM showed Halimi his stack. It was around 1,000,000.

Halimi tanked for a bit longer, in total for about 4 minutes and then announced a raise to 1,000,000. Now it was NFJM's turn to tank. After about three minutes, he folded.
