Igor Yaroshevskyy Eliminated in 8th Place (€20,700)

Igor Yaroshevskyy min-raised to 200,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Jeremie Zouari, who three-bet to 525,000. Yaroshevskyy moved all in and Labat quickly called, with Yaroshevskyy at risk.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: Q♦Q♥
Jeremie Zouari: A♥K♣

It was exactly the kind of race to be expected at this point in the tournament. Yaroshevskyy had pocket queens and Zouari had ace-king.

The board ran out 3♦9♣Q♣10♥J♦.

The queen on the flop gave Yaroshevskyy a set and Zouari was drawing very thin. The turn brought him a few more outs and the J♦ river completed Zouari's straight.

Gasps sounded out from around the table. Yaroshevskyy got up to leave. Boika got up to console him. Zouari scooped his chips, which now totalled 4,700,000.

"He doesn't need the money, that's the problem." said Antoine Labat. "When you don't need the money it's easy!"

Yaroshevskyy was eliminated in eighth place for €20,700 (€31,950 including bounties).
