"There's Only Room for Three French Guys at the Table"
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Fabrice Bigot was all in for around 800,000 from the big blind against Nick Pupillo in the hijack on a flop of 8♥10♣6♦.
Fabrice Bigot: 9♣8♦ 
Nick Pupillo: Q♥9♠
Bigot had the best hand with a pair of eights against Pupillo's open-ended straight draw, but the board ran out 10♥9♥ to counterfeit Bigot's hand as both players made nines and tens with Pupillo having the better kicker.
The French pro was eliminated, but he is still represented at the table by fellow countrymen Thomas Eychenne, Arnaud Mattern, and Adrien Zychowski.
"There's only room for three French guys at the table," said Daniel Iachan.
