Alexis Nicolai Eliminated in 12th Place (€21,950)
Level 32
: 100,000/200,000, 250,000 ante
Jacobo Montoya limped for 200,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself 30,000 behind. That would prove to be a very wise and profitable decision, because Alexis Nicolai moved all-in on the button for a little over 2,000,000 and Thomas Lhomme moved in over top for more.
Lhomme then turned over his hand 
, not realizing Jacobo was still in the hand.
Jacobo couldn't believe his situation, but folded, and left himself the 30,000 in hopes that Nicolai would be eliminated, giving him a pay jump. Nicolai's hand was then revealed,
Alexis Nicolai: 
Thomas Lhomme:
The board came 
and indeed Nicolai was eliminated, while Jacobo's 30,000 behind earned him that pay jump.
