Anthony Roux Eliminated

Anthony Roux has left fellow countryman Bruno Fitoussi to fly the French flag, Roux's last waltz coming against former pace-setter Cory Albertson.

Our field reporter joined the action on the {4-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop with Roux moving in for his final 28,000 with {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. With the pot already brimming with circa 120,000 in chips, Albertson felt obliged to call with {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

However, Albertson was both shocked and elated to find he was ahead, his king high looking to avoid a club or an eight to survive.

A {7-Spades} turn and {5-Spades} river were no good, and Roux was gone.
