Romain Lewis Eliminated in 17th Place ($410,475)

Romain Lewis

Romain Lewis raised to 1,600,000 from middle position, and Greg Mueller in the cutoff three-bet to 6,000,000. It folded back to Lewis, who moved all in for 10,600,000, and Mueller snap-called.

When the cards were revealed, there was a collective sigh from the entire French rail behind Lewis.

Romain Lewis: K♠K♣ All in
Greg Mueller: A♣A♦

The most classic of setups brought no help to Lewis on the Q♥10♦3♣6♣2♦ runout, and he had to settle for 17th place, good enough for a payout worth $410,475.

"Let's go!" Mueller vividly exclaimed and high-fived his rail before returning to his chair.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Malcolm Trayner raised to 1,600,000 under the gun, but then folded to a three-bet to 4,000,000 from Evagoros Evagorou in the hijack.

The next hand, Trayner and Lauri Saaskilahti went heads-up to a flop of 8♥Q♣J♥ in a limped pot between the blinds. Trayner then bet 1,000,000, and Saaskilahti called.

Both players checked the 6♠ turn. Saaskilahti then bet 4,200,000 on the 10♣ river, and Trayner quickly folded.

Shaun Deeb

Shaun Deeb opened to 1,600,000 and Rami Hammoud flat-called on the button. Greg Mueller in the small blind called and Daniel Savas in the big blind made it a four-way to the A♥K♣8♣ flop.

Mueller and Savas checked to Deeb, who continued for 1,600,000. Hammoud called, whereas Mueller 10♦9♦ and Savas 4♣2♥ both folded.

The 2♣ followed on the turn, and Deeb opted to check. Hammoud used the opportunity to bet 3,000,000, and Deeb called.

That led them to the 8♦ river on which Deeb checked once more. Hammoud used one time bank card before he bet 5,000,000 and Deeb called after brief consideration. Hammoud tabled his Q♠J♣ for a bluff, and Deeb won the healthy pot with A♠10♣ for aces-up.

Trayner checked again on the 10♥ turn and Karakaya checked back.

Trayner bet 14,000,000 on the 3♣ river and Karakaya folded.

There were remnants of Joe Hachem's victory 21 years ago as Trayner's rail shouted "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!"

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff, and Rami Hammoud defended his big blind to a flop of K♣3♣2♠, on which Hammoud check-called for 1,500,000. The 9♥ turn was checked by Hammoud and Ensan made it 4,800,000 to go, picking up a call from the Canadian.

The 8♣ on the river completed a potential flush, and Hammoud checked the third street in a row. Ensan used one time bank to check behind, and his Q♠7♠ couldn't beat the K♦J♣ for top pair by Hammoud.

Romain Lewis A♠J♦ then moved all in for 8,600,000 from under the gun. Hossein Ensan in the small blind asked for a count, but he eventually folded. Gagliano also quickly gave up his big blind.

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 next from middle position, and Rami Hammoud called in the cutoff; Thomas Clack in the big blind made it a three-way to the A♦10♥5♣ flop. Clack checked, and Ensan bet 1,500,000; Hammoud folded and Clack called.

The 7♠ followed on the turn, and Clack checked again. Ensan moved all in for 10,300,000 effective, and Clack called on the pay-jump bubble.

Thomas Clack: A♠5♠ All in
Hossein Ensan: A♣7♣

Clack's slow-played two pair with aces and fives was in dire shape as Ensan had turned the superior two pair. The river was the K♣ and Clack departed in 18th place for $325,000, while all remaining 17 players locked up at least $410,475 for their efforts.
