Bruno Fitoussi has been knocked out. One of the biggest poker players in France had a short lived Main Event and a player at his former table was kind enough to give us some details.
"Man, he got coolered the entire day," the player said.
On Fitoussi's last hand he limp-called a raise and got it in on a 
flop with ten-nine suited. The former $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. runner up did not catch any card to help his chances on the turn or river and he hit the rail in the third level of play.
