Erik Seidel raised to 8,000 from the button, and Williamsson moved in from the small blind for an additional 30,000. Seidel half-smiled and considered for a moment, then called.
Toni Hiltumen opened fort 7,500, Robin Keston flat-called, Mike Matusow raised to 22,000, Hiltumen folded, Keston moved all in and Matusow quickly called.

The board ran out and Keston doubled his stack while Matusow fell to around 165,000.
Perttu Bergius raised to 8,300 in early position and it folded around to Arieh in the small blind, who took his time making a decision. The decision was to go all in for a total of 23,900, and Bergius called.
Daniel Negreanu opened for 10,500, and with the action folded around to Alexis Guimbal in the small blind, he moved all in for 25,200. Negreanu quickly called.

The board ran out and the Frenchman's Main Event came to an end with a 32nd place finish, earning him £25,340.
Not a quadruple-up this time, but a mere double-up for William Haughey. Talal Shakerchi raised to 9,000 from the cutoff an Haughey shoved for 24,300. On the big blind Erik Seidel called and Shakerchi decided he'd better get out of their way, and folded.
Talal Shakerchi has lost an enormous pot to Brandon Adams, knocking him down to 235,000.
With around 80,000 in the pot by the river of the board, Shakerchi checked to Adams, who bet 40,000. After a few moments Shakerchi called, and mucked to Adam's flush. Adams is now up to around 280,000.
Justin Smith bet 30,000 to Erik Seidel's turn-time check on the board, and Seidel called. He again checked the river and this time Smith bet an enormous 68,900 -- Seidel looked pained, but called, and mucked when Smith turned over for the flopped set. Seidel's stack is more or less bisected and he is down to 140,000; Smith meanwhile returns to the top of the chip counts on well over 500,000.
An attack of the television cameras prevented us from getting anywhere near the table, but Daniel Negreanu helped to recreate the hand for us.
With the board reading on the river, Peter Turmezey moved all in for his remaining 40,000 on the river and Toni Hiltunen made the call. Turmezey's pair of fives with was no match for Hiltunen's pair of kings with in the hole, and Turmezey exited in 31st place, collecting the tidy sum of £25,340.
