Afonso Spikes the River

Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The player in the hijack shoved for their last 30,000 and just behind him, Patrick Afonso called in the cutoff. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Hijack: A♥Q♠ All in
Patrick Afonso: A♠J♦

Afonso found himself dominated, and the 2♦10♠3♥ flop and 4♥ turn changed nothing. However, the J♠ river paired Afonso's jack at the last moment to provide him with the winning hand and elimination.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player in the cutoff shoved for their last 10,000 and Kamel Belaidouni called in the small blind. Loris Corbelli shoved from the big blind for approximately 80,000 and Belaidouni folded a pair of eights face up.

Cutoff: A♥2♦ All in
Loris Corbelli: K♦Q♥

The board ran out 2♠8♣4♦4♠Q♣ — giving Corbelli a winning two pair for the elimination while Belaidouni watched helplessly in what would have been a double knockout for him had he called.

Tony Pelletier: Q♥Q♦

Freitas would need some help, but the 8♣4♠7♥6♣Q♣ runout needlessly improved Pelletier to a set of queens — eliminating Freitas late in the evening.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Fabian Rolli opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Florian Pral shoved for his last 19,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Rolli, who called to put Pral at risk.

Florian Pral: A♦K♣ All in
Fabian Rolli: J♠J♥

It was a fair fight, but the 2♣5♦J♣ flop improved Rolli to a set of jacks and left Pral drawing to runner-runner.

The 2♠ turn left Pral drawing dead and an irrelevant 3♣ completed the board to make Pral's elimination official.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michel Molenaar shoved for his last 12,300 from the cutoff and just behind him, Loris Corbelli called on the button to put Molenaar at risk. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Michel Molenaar: 6♣6♦ All in
Loris Corbelli: Q♠10♠

The 3♥J♥5♣ flop and K♠ turn kept Molenaar ahead with his sixes, but the A♣ river filled Corbelli's straight draw to eliminate Molenaar.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jason Metz opened to 3,000 first to act and just behind him, Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 10,000. Action folded back around to Metz, who announced he was all in, which was enough to put Thorel all in for approximately 30,000 total. Thorel called and hands were revealed.

Jean-Noel Thorel: 10♣10♠ All in
Jason Metz: A♣A♥

Thorel would need some help to keep his main event going, but the 4♦6♣6♥9♦5♦ runout came clean for Metz, who collected the rest of Thorel's chips.

Alexandre Saxod opened to 2,400 from middle position and just behind him, the player in the hijack shoved for their last 15,000. Action folded back around to Saxod, who quickly put in a single chip to indicate a call.

Hijack: A♣J♣ All in
Alexandre Saxod: A♦K♦

The board ran out 6♣4♦7♥10♦10♥ — keeping Saxod best with his king kicker to eliminate his opponent.

Wiciak Cracks Freydier's Set in Massive Multiway Pot

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Simon Wiciak opened to 1,200 first to act and was called by a player in middle position, Mickael Freydier in the hijack, and both players in the blinds for a five-way pot.

Action checked to Freydier, who bet 4,500 on the 4♦Q♥9♥ flop. Only the big blind and Wiciak called.

The 5♣ fell on the turn and it was again checked to Freydier, who announced he was all in for approximately 30,000 total. The big blind got out of the way and Wiciak snap-called to put Freydier at risk.

Mickael Freydier: 9♠9♣ All in
Simon Wiciak: 5♥4♥

Freydier had way the best of it with his set of nines against Wiciak's two pair and flush draw, but the 3♥ river filled Wiciak's flush to earn him the massive pot and eliminate Freydier from the tournament.

At another table, Jean-Noel Thorel, who is number one on France's tournament-earnings list, was seen taking his seat
