The tournament officials just announced that there are just 64 players remaining, which means we're officially on the money bubble; as such, hand-for-hand play has been instituted. One more player will leave empty handed, while the other 63 will earn at least €1,965.
We're not sure of the betting, but we do know that Fabien Fleury found himself all in preflop for around 10,000 with and up against the of Sylvain Gibert. Fleury was clearly unhappy with the predicament so close to the money, and he made a hasty exit from the tournament floor when the board ran out an uneventful .
After a player had raised from the cutoff, Erik Cajelais three-bet to 4,300 from the button. Joe Kuether then moved all in from the small blind for 19,600, the original raiser folded, and Cajelais made the call.
Showdown
Kuether:
Cajelais:
Kuether had Cajelais crushed, but a glimpse of concern crossed his face when the flop gave his Canadian foe an aded gut-shot straight draw to a four. Luckily for Kuether, neither the turn nor river changed a thing and he doubled to 50,000.
