Locquet Beginning His Chip-and-a-Chair Story
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Romain Locquet moved all in for less than the big blind from under the gun and Elia Salerno reraised on the button to chase away the rest of the field.
Romain Locquet: A♥3♦ 
Elia Salerno: Q♣J♦
Locquet made two pair on the 7♦2♦4♣A♦3♠ board and he doubled up his short stack.
The next hand, Locquet was in the big blind and called for 35,000 when small blind Symeon Alexandridis shoved.
Romain Locquet: 7♠7♥
Symeon Alexandridis: A♠9♠
The J♦8♣5♦ flop kept Locquet in the lead, while the 7♣ turn gave him a set. Alexandridis was looking to complete a straight draw to earn the knockout, but he missed the 9♥ river and Locquet doubled up yet again.
