Alexandru Papazian:
Wagner Ripper:

"I like it," the WSOP bracelet winner said with a grin on his face. He picked up a lot of equity on the flop and asked for the eight of spades. An eight was what he needed, but when the followed on the turn, the river was too little too late, denying Papazian the pay jump and he had to settle for €13,600.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

There were three all-in situations on three separate tables of which two went all the way but only one resulted in a seat open. Floor staff instructed the dealers to wait until all action was completed before they ran them one after the other as a potential pay jump would be split if there was more than one elimination.

Luc Bindel raised to 210,000 in the small blind for fellow Frenchman Manuel Labous to three-bet to 760,000 in the big blind with some 70,000 behind. Bindel reluctantly called and then check-called the all-in after the flop.

Manuel Labous:
Luc Bindel:

The Day 1 chip leader was in need of help and had two overcards as well as a gutshot at his disposal. Nothing changed with the turn and river as he departed in 18th place for €11,800.
