While watching Vanessa Selbst and Luca Ascabi trading blows we saw Jonathan Duhamel rise to his feet and shake the hand of Vainio Ville. Duhamel was holding 
and Ville was holding 
and the board was displaying a ten. Duhamel was eliminated and Ville now has 28,000.

The pile of chips in front of David Benyamine consists of no more than a few chips. Thinking we made a mistake counting after he folded the second nut flush we asked him if his count was correct. Benyamine told us he lost a huge 20,000-chip pot after the folded flush with aces against ace-jack. The chips went into the pot on a 
flop and the Frenchman got very unlucky on either the turn or the river.
David Benyamine only has 2,100 chips left behind and has a lot of ground to cover before he's back in the race.

Phil Hellmuth has arrived. To Majestic 1 that is. We'll surely keep an eye on him and let you know any updates.
The board reads 
with 2,600 in the middle and it's Fabrizzio Naselli's turn. The Italian player bets 2,100 from the small blind after which Benyamine gets a big decision. The French pro thinks about it for a long time before he open folds 
. "Nice hand" he says while tapping on the table and Naselli shows him 
for a complete bluff. "Nice play" is what Benyamine adds after seeing that he just got bluffed.
David Benyamine plays on with plenty of chips but this fold has to hurt.
