Fabrice Bigot Eliminated in 8th Place ($86,118)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick opened to 200,000 from under the gun and then called after Fabrice Bigot jammed all in for 680,000 out of the small blind.
Fabrice Bigot: A♦8♥
Stephen Chidwick: J♠8♠
Bigot had Chidwick dominated and looked set to score a double up. The 6♠2♠10♥ flop immediately made things dicey for the at risk player as Chidwick picked up a flush draw. Nothing change on the 4♣ turn but the flush came in on the 7♠ river to send Bigot out of the tournament in eight place in gut wrenching fashion. With his elimination, the unofficial final table of seven has been set.
