More Short Stack Bustouts in the FPS Main Event

Matt Warburton

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The bustouts are coming thick and fast in the FPS Main Event, the field now reduced to 162 players.

In one hand, Jean Montury was all in preflop against Scott Margereson, who had him covered as players turned over their cards.

Jean Montury: J♥J♣
Scott Margereson: A♥Q♦

The board ran out 8♠7♠10♣3♣A♣. Montury stayed ahead until Margereson paired his ace on the river to win the pot, sending Montury to the rail.

Over on another table, Daniel De Sousa Custodio moved all in from late position with a short stack and was taken up by Dinesh Alt on the button.

Daniel De Sousa Custodio: K♦7♦
Dinesh Alt: A♣J♥

The board ran out 6♠2♦8♦4♣A♠. Custodio picked up a flush draw to go with his pair possibilities, but he couldn't improve. Alt made a pair of aces on the river to chip up to close to 1,000,000 and bust Custodio.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three players had gotten all of the chips in the middle before the flop, and both Jean-Archibald Delafontaine and Marle Spragg were all-in against Gilles Sebbane. Delafontaine for roughly 125,000, while Spragg had around 400,000.

The 7♥5♠5♥10♣J♦ board was already on the table and Delafontaine's hand had been mucked, but Spragg's K♣K♦ and Sebbane' A♥A♦ were still face up as Sebbane raked in the pot.

Action folded around to Bjorn Bruns, who moved all in from the small blind for 105,000, a little over five big blinds. Laurent Leclerc called in the big blind with the bigger stack and players flipped their cards.

Bjorn Bruns: K♣10♣
Laurent Leclerc: 8♠6♠

The board ran out 2♦8♣8♥2♠3♠. Leclerc flopped trip eights to win the pot and end Bruns' tournament life.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Ilija Savevski opened to 30,000 and called when Jacques Mayer jammed for 133,000 from the cutoff.

Jacques Mayer: A♣8♣
Ilija Savevski: A♥J♠

Saveski had the better ace and remained best to oust Mayer after the 9♥7♠3♣K♠Q♣ runout.

On a table elsewhere, Moshe Eliyahu was all in for his last 167,000 and was at risk to Georgi Sandev, who reshoved from the small blind.

Moshe Eliyahu: K♦Q♠
Georgi Sandev: 7♠7♥

Eliyahu took the lead on the K♠5♥3♦ flop and improved to two pair on the Q♣ turn. However, Sandev hit his two-outer on the 7♣ river to make a set and seal the bust out. Eliyahu was stunned by the runout and took a few snaps of the board in disbelief before heading to the payout desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ilija Savevski	1,150,000 887,000	887,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alexandre Correia limped under the gun, Alexandre Le Vaillant called in early position and Nozomu Shimizu squeezed to 80,000 from the button. Both players called.

The action checked to Shimizu, who continued for 85,000 on the 8♣10♥6♣ flop. Correia called and Le Vaillant folded.

The 8♠ turn saw Correia check again. Shimizu bet out 275,000 and Correia moved all in, just covering Shimizu's stack of 698,000. Shimizu called.

Nozomu Shimizu: K♣K♥
Alexandre Correia: 9♥8♥

The river landed the 7♦; Correia's turned trips earned him one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far, eliminating Shimizu in the process.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alexandre Correia	1,760,000 1,740,000	1,740,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Daniel De Sousa Custodio opened 30,000 in early position, and Luis Rodriguez flatted on the button before Istvan Pilhofer put in a three-bet to 95,000 from the big blind. Custodio mucked, but Rodriguez jammed for 486,000. Pilhofer called.

Luis Rodriguez: 8♣8♠
Istvan Pilhofer: Q♠Q♣

Pilhofer was in great shape as the J♠7♣4♦ flop hit the felt. The 2♦ landed on the turn, changing nothing but Pilhofer couldn't dodge the river as the 8♥ completed the board.

Pilhofer had about 79,000 remaining after the hand and was seen exiting the tournament shortly after.

The action folded around to Georgios Karakousis in the small blind who jammed for about 90,000 and Anthony Dasbourg wasted no time making the call.

Georgios Karakousis: J♥10♥
Anthony Dasbourg: J♦J♠

Karakousis was dominated and the A♦7♦5♣4♥6♥ runout was no help as he stood up from his seat.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dara O'Kearney moved all in for 133,000 from middle position. Paraskevas Tsokaridis called as the bigger stack from the small blind.

Dara O'Kearney: A♥9♥
Paraskevas Tsokaridis: 10♥10♣

O'Kearney paired up on the K♠J♣9♣ flop but remained behind. The 4♣ turn was a brick as was the 3♥ river, marking the end of his FPS Main Event run.

This marks O'Kearney's second cash at EPT Paris, with his first coming in the €1,100 Freezeout, where he finished third for €25,200 ($27,078)
