Damien Lhommeau 3rd place
Damien Lhommeau 3rd place

On the very first hand back from break, Charles Tonne opened from the cutoff position and action folded over to Damien Lhommeau in the big blind, who announced a pot-sized re-raise. Tonne quickly 4-bet the pot and Lhommueau went all in. Tonne called and hands were revealed.

Lhommeau: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Tonne: {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, giving Tonne a straight on the river and eliminating Lhommeau.

Tonne back in the chip lead with 2,100,000

Tristan Wade is still alive.
Tristan Wade is still alive.

Tristan Wade opened to 60,000 from the small blind and Vincent Van Der Fluit called from the big blind. The flop came {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, Wade checked, Van Der Fluit potted and Wade called all in.

Wade: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Van Der Fluit: {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Hearts}

Both players had trip eights and the turn {5-Clubs} gave Van Der Fluit a full house. The river saved Wade when it fell {A-Spades} and Wade's full house earned him the double up.

Charles Tonne opened to 40,000 from under-the-gun. Action folded around to Alex Dovzhenko in the small blind, who re-raised to 130,000. Tonne eyed Dovzhenko's stack and made the call.

Flop: {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Dovzhenko announced, "pot," which would be a bet for 280,000. Tonne re-raised the pot and Dovzhenko quickly announced he was all in. Tonne called and Dovzhenko would be at risk for his tournament life.

Dovzhenko: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Tonne: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades} turn would improve Tonne to a full house and the {4-Hearts} river bricked for Dovzhenko, who was eliminated in 5th place.

Who's Playing and Who's Folding

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

During the opening levels Alex Dovzhenko has been by far the most active player at the table. He's been opening with consistency and has two eliminations to his credit.

Vincent Van Der Fluit has also been mixing it up but Damien Lhommeau has been picking his spots well. Charles Tonne, the wire-to-wire chip leader, has been fairly quiet and his stack has slipped a bit.

Tristan Wade is a bit handcuffed with his short stack but the WSOP bracelet winner has won the pots he's played. He's played his short stack well this afternoon.
