Dauphin Lose Race and is Eliminated

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

More Bustouts

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Big names continue to fall with just 57 remaining now with 80 minutes remaining before the dinner break. Pierre Neuville, [Removed:30] and Julien Loire have all fallen by the way-side.

It was an interesting end for Guillaume Darcourt. Darcourt raised, and was three -bet and ended up four-bet shoving {10-Hearts}{5-Spades} and got called by {A-}{Q-}. The board was {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and the tournament just lost one of its more colourful characters.

Nokra Doubles Up Mikenas

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Mouad Nokra raised to 11,500 UTG and was shoved on by Paulius Mikenas in the cut-off with 35,500 chips. It folded back round to Nokra who made the call

Nokra: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Mikenas: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Nokra was drawing thin to try and bust a player halfway through Level 18, but it wasn't to be as the board bricked {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, despite Nokra's best efforts to bang the table as the river was dealt, in the hope that an Ace would magically appear.

Nokra still sits with well over double average whereas Mikenas is well on the road to recovery.

Taylor Hits One-Outer

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

News reaches us of an earlier pot worth over 200,000 involving Guy Taylor and Barny Boatman. Taylor shoved {K-}{10-} over an open for 89,000. Barny Boatman called with {A-}{Q-} and the opener folded. Taylor ended up finding a ten, which was made all the more remarkable by the fact that someone at the table had folded tens! Taylor now sits above average with Barny Boatman not far behind

Break

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Players have stepped away from the tables for a short break. Here are some recent eliminations

Naughty Words Fly in French

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

I know very few naughty French words. The very small list was learnt during secondary school whilst bored in French lessons. However, Yohan Argence probably just taught me a few more.

Mouad Nokra bet a flop of {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and got a call from Argence. Both players checked the {10-Hearts} on the turn and after a quick think, Argence bet 40,000 on the {7-Clubs} river. That was when the swearing started. Argence tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} but Nokra had rivered a set with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} to win the last hand before the break

Belatik Busto; Gerin Chips Up

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Rebecca Gerin has been doing some healing in the last few minutes. She is one of two women left in the field, the other being Natalia Breviglieri, and she just knocked out Anas Belatik.

Gerin raised from middle position and got re-raised all-in by Belatik. Gerin called.

Gerin: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Belatik: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Belatik made his way to the exit.

There are now 70 players remaining, with 44 places being paid

Aces Cracked by Khalifa

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

It looks like the only way Jonathan Khalifa is going to chip up is by raising instead of calling, judging by his earlier hands. In this hand he raised with {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} 8,500 and was re-raised by Kalidou Sow to 18,000. The small blind and Khalifa called and they all saw a flop of {Q-}{J-}{2-}. It was checked to Sow who continuation bet for 25,000, the small blind folded and Khalifa moved all-in.

Sow tanked for around 30 seconds before calling with {A-}{A-}, and was ahead...until the Queen on the turn. Sow is eliminated just short of the second break of the day
