Au Revoir, Auzoux

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gregoire Auzoux raised to 40,000 from middle position before facing a three-bet to 130,000 from button Vicente Delgado. Azoux made the call and the pair checked through the subsequent flop of Q♣10♣8♥. The 2♦ turn then fell and Auzoux led out for a sum of 275,000. Delgado made the call and the K♥ river completed the board.

Auzoux promptly shoved all in for 790,000 and Delgado called as quick as lightning. Auzoux shook his head while tabling his 9♦9♣ with a grimace. The bluff did not work as Delgado held A♦J♠ and rivered Broadway, the nuts.

Auzoux was the first player to leave the final table and two more eliminations are to be had before the money will be reached.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gregoire Auzoux raised to 40,000 from the hijack and Quan Zhou made the call from the cutoff. Paulius Plausinaitis also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of A♦4♠A♠. Plausinaitis checked to Auzoux, who made a continuation-bet of 55,000. Zhou still called while Plausinaitis got out of the way.

The 2♥ turn then fell and Auzoux bet another 180,000. Again, Zhou called before the Q♣ river rolled off. Auzoux slammed the brakes and checked, leading to Zhou throwing out a massive bet of 425,000. Auzoux quickly mucked his holdings and the first big pot of the final table went Zhou's way.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Juan Pardo raised to 45,000 from the cutoff and Teun Mulder called on the button. The action then folded to Maher Nouira, who went all in for 351,000 chips. Pardo folded after a bit of thought, but chipleader Mulder instantly made the call.

Maher Nouira: A♣10♠
Teun Mulder: 7♠7♥

Mulder's pocket pair held when the board ran out Q♥4♦3♣9♠K♦ and Nouira was the last player to not have a seat on the unofficial final table of nine.

Death By a Thousand Tens for Mateos

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Adrian Mateos open-raised from the button before small blind Vicente Delgado made a three-bet. Mateos then four-bet shoved for 624,000 and Delgado made the call, being at risk with a stack of 615,000.

Vicente Delgado: 10♦10♣
Adrian Mateos: 8♥8♦

No eights appeared on the A♦5♦2♣6♠A♣ runout and Delgado doubled up, while Mateos was left with less than one big blind.

The final 9,000 chips went in the very next hand from the cutoff. Juan Pardo then completed his small blind before Teun Mulder raised it to 64,000. Pardo got out of the way and the two remaining players showed down.

Adrian Mateos: 10♦3♦
Teun Mulder: 10♠10♣

Mateos could not beat the pocket tens this time either, as he was drawing dead on the turn when the board ran out J♣6♣Q♣4♠9♦. There are now ten players left and thus the field is on the unofficial final table bubble.

Level 13 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski moved all in for 182,000 from middle position and found a caller in Gregoire Auzoux in the blinds who had a covering stack.

Mikita Badziakouski: 5♥5♠
Gregoire Auzoux: A♣10♣

The J♥7♣7♥ flop was clean for Badziakouski but Auzoux connected with the 10♠ turn leaving Badziakouski drawing to two outs. The 4♦ river was a blank and Badziakouski made his exit from the tournament area while Auzoux continued to add chips to his stack.
