Moments after Allan Tirel's elimination, Vincent Lavauzelle opened from the button and faced Jeremie Gorge who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦2♥6♥ and Lavauzelle bet 2,100. Gorge check-called and Lavauzelle fired a second barrel to 3,600 on the 8♣ turn.
Gorge raised to 45,000. Lavauzelle went into the tank for a few seconds and called off his last 22,000.
Vincent Lavauzelle: A♣9♥
Jeremie Gorge: 8♦6♠
Lavauzelle with top pair ran into two pair. The 5♣ river kept Gorge ahead and Lavauzelle was eliminated.
