Three Bust to Create Final Table, Souki Leads

After Andrea Volpi and Demetris Triantapillou both busted in short succession, Kevin Allen moved all-in for his final eight big blinds with and was called by Enzo Del Piero in the big blind with pocket nines. They held to send Allen home on the brink of the final.

"I got sic shoves through early on," Allen told us, "To be honest, it's hard to be out of the door after being all-in and at risk for the first time in my tournament, but I knew I was going to get called sooner or later. It happens."

With nine players left, Philippe Souki has the chip-lead. We'll be back after a short break with the chip-counts and re-draw for seating positions.
