Antoine Pacaud Eliminated in 9th Place (€6,977)

We didn't catch the exact betting, but we do know that Antoine Pacaud ended up all in preflop and at risk against Ana Marquez.

Showdown
Marquez: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Pacaud: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Marquez was in good shape, but the {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop was kind to Pacaud as it gave him a pair of sixes with a flush draw. The {A-Clubs} turn actually have Pacaud the lead with aces and sixes, but the {9-Clubs} would spike on the river to give Marquez aces and nines for the win.

Slow Going

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Things have slowed considerably on the tournament floor. There was one recent notable pot, but it ended up being a chopped pot between Andrew Lichtenberger and Francisco Da Costa Santos. With the blinds where they're at, it's only a matter of time before the action picks up.

Joentausta Gives it Back

Joentausta Applies Pressure

After Antoine Pacaud opened for 5,000 from the cutoff and Micah Smith called form the small blind, Aku Joentausta three-bet to 20,000 from the big. Only Smith called and it was heads-up to the {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Smith wasted little time in checking, and that opened the door for Joentausta to move all in for 28,000. Smith gave it some thought but ultimately decided to lay down his hand.
