Recent Eliminations

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick and Ivan Luca were among the recent eliminations but have opted to reenter. Sylvain Loosli has also reentered after busting earlier on in the day.

Ramin Hajiyev exited during the last level but saw his luck didn't change when using his second bullet as he was unable to run up a stack and exited for the second time.

Thorel Eliminates Greenwood to Take the Lead

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

Luc Greenwood was stood up from the table, and all his chips were being passed over to Jean-Noel Thorel after a pot which gave the latter the overall chip lead.

James Romero was happy to talk us through the action. Greenwood had raised from under the gun and called a three-bet from Thorel, who was in the small blind, and the flop came down {6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Thorel made a pot size-bet and Greenwood called, and the turn was the {9-Diamonds}. Thorel then bet around a third of the pot and Greenwood moved all in for 140,000 which Thorel called.

Thorel held {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, and Greenwood was behind with {k-}{q-} no diamonds.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and was no help to Greenwood who exited as Thorel, who came second in the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller two days ago for €703,000, moved up to 390,000.

Greenwood has since reentered and has a fresh 100,000 stack

Pique Gone

Gerard Pique
Gerard Pique

Gerard Pique has only been able to last one level on his first bullet and has exited the tournament room. We were informed that Pique held {a-}{j-Clubs} and clashed with Louis Nyberg who held {a-}{k-}.

Pique ultimately lost the pot and all his chips and will have the option to reenter if he so wishes.
