Julien Rouxel
Julien Rouxel

Frenchman Julien Rouxel continues to chip up early on Day 2 as he added more chips to the growing tower in front of him. The latest hand saw him take on Darko Svesko, who defended out of the blinds and check-called a {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop.

Svesko check-called for another 83,000 on the {j-Spades} turn and the {10-Spades} fell on the river. Both checked and Rouxel's {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} won the pot.

Rouxel Joins the Chip Millionaires

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Following a raise by table big stack Julien Rouxel in the hijack, Mounir Tajiou moved all-in for around 120,000 on the button and was quickly called by the Frenchman.

Mounir Tajiou: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Julien Rouxel: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

"Long way to go," Tajiou said with a dry smile after Rouxel hit a flush on the {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. The {7-Clubs} turn brought some unlikely outs but the {q-Clubs} river brought no miracle escape.

Jamil Wakil nursed the last few big blinds for a couple of minutes before they went into the middle against Mounir Tajiou.

Jamil Wakil: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Mounir Tajiou: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop instantly left Wakil drawing dead, which made the {7-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river a formality.

Soon after on the same table, Tajiou raised, Mohamed Mokrani three-bet and then called the four-bet shove for the 185,000 he had behind.

Mohamed Mokrani: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Mounir Tajiou: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The aces prevailed thanks to the {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} board and Tajiou had to fork over a big portion of his stack.

"No ace king one time?" Tajiou inquired and Mokrani replied "ace-king I just call".
