Frederic Marechal Eliminated in 2nd Place (€145,550)

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Christopher Campisano open-jammed from the button and Frederic Marechal made the call for 27,200,000 after pondering momentarily.

Frederic Marechal: A♦3♣ All in
Christopher Campisano: K♦9♦

Marechal had a slight edge, but the Q♦6♦2♠ flop provided Campisano with a plethora of outs.

The K♥ turn was one of them, and Campisano improved to a flush on the 3♦ river to complete his unbelievable comeback story and leave Marechal as runner-up.

The competitors shook hands before Marechal left the stage to pick up the largest payday of his career.

Level 37 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Frederic Marechal put Dimitrios Anastasakis all-in for 5,400,000 from the small blind, and the latter snap called in the big blind.

Dimitrios Anastasakis: Q♦6♣ All in
Frederic Marechal: A♠J♣

The 9♠4♥3♦ flop helped neither player, but the A♣ turn left Anstasakis drawing dead. Hugs and handshakes were passed around as the K♣ river fell and Anastasakis left the table to collect his six-figure payout.

Level 35 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Frederic Marechal raised to 1,600,000 under the gun, after which Xiaohua Yang three-bet all in for 14,975,000. Christopher Campisano called in the big blind before Marechal quickly let go of his A♥8♠.

Xiaohua Yang: K♥J♣ All in
Christopher Campisano: A♠A♦

Yang had run into aces, and the Q♠10♠10♦ left him with four direct outs to hit. The 4♣ did not help him, and the K♠ river was not enough to prevent his elimination in fourth place.

Level 35 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Andreas Krause moved all in for just less than 3,000,00 from under the gun and Frederic Marechal called from the big blind.

Andreas Krause: J♠J♣ All in
Frederic Marechal: K♠Q♥

Krause needed to win a flip to stay in the tournament but got off to the worst possible start as Marechal paired his king on the 8♥2♦K♥ flop. Things got worse on the A♥ turn as Marechal picked up a flush draw, which removed half of Krause's outs. That flush was completed on the 6♥ river, which sent Krause to the rail in fifth.

Level 34 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Xiaohua Yang raised his button to 1,500,000, after which Frederik Thiemer shoved all in for 12,100,000 from the small blind. Yang made a quick call and the cards hit their backs.

Frederik Thiemer: A♠8♠ All in
Xiaohua Yang: J♥J♣

The 10♦7♣J♦ flop took away Thiemer's pair outs as Yang made a set, but the German could still hit a nine to make a straight.

However, neither the 5♣ turn or 6♠ river brought it on the board, resulting in Thiemer's departure in sixth.

Yang on the other hand, chipped up to a stack of 60 big blinds, solidifying a second place on the leaderboard.

Level 34 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Luigi Pignataro opened the action with a raise to 1,225,000 under the gun. Dimitrios Anastasakis then three-bet to 4,200,000 in the small blind, after which Pignataro shoved all in for 11,700,000.

Anastasakis snap called with the covering stack and the players showed down.

Luigi Pignataro: Q♦Q♣ All in
Dimitrios Anastasakis: K♥K♦

Pignataro's pair of queens was dominated, and when the 4♠3♥J♥J♠5♦ flop did not bring a queen, Pignataro was forced to exit in seventh place. Anastasakis, meanwhile, took over the second place on the leaderboard.

Level 33 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Luc Ramos was first to act and pushed in his stack of 3,775,000. Xiaohua Tang isolated on the button, receiving folds from the blinds and getting to a heads-up showdown.

Luc Ramos: A♥8♥ All in
Xiaohua Yang: A♠K♦

The 10♦J♠3♥ flop brought Yang a gutshot, while the 9♥ turn also gave Ramos a gutshot in addition to a flush draw.

The 6♣ river bricked, however, seeing Ramos depart on the second hand of the final table.
