Nguyen Collects the Rest of Kacem's Chips

Dan O'Hair

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Tung Nguyen opened to 40,000 from early position and action folded to Noreddine Kacem in the small blind, who shoved for a bit under 100,000. Nguyen quickly called to put Kacem at risk and hands were revealed.

Noreddine Kacem: A♠K♥ All in
Tung Nguyen: A♣10♣

Kacem was in good shape to double up with his dominating ace, but the 10♠5♦A♦6♣7♥ runout left Nguyen best with two pair and Kacem was eliminated.

Dan O'Hair

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

Julien Dupre opened to 30,000 on the button and Filippo Lazzaretto shoved from the big blind. Dupre tanked a bit, but eventually committed his stack worth about 300,000 into the middle.

Julien Dupre: A♣8♦ All in
Filippo Lazzaretto: K♦Q♣

The K♣6♦J♠ flop paired Lazzaretto's king to give him a commanding lead, but the A♠ fell on the turn to pull Dupre back ahead.

It wasn't over, however, as the 10♦ river upgraded Lazzaretto to Broadway to eliminate Dupre from the tournament in dramatic fashion.

Moments later, PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin "Benny" Bruneteaux was eliminated as well.

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

Nicolas Schegerin shoved for approximately 150,000 from middle position and just behind him, Loris Corbelli also went all in for more in the hijack. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Nicolas Schegerin: A♠10♦ All in
Loris Corbelli: K♣Q♣

The J♠J♣2♦ flop and 10♠ turn were safe for Schegerin, but the Q♠ river paired Corbelli's queen to put an end to Schegerin's tournament.

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

Marc Soria shoved for approximately 100,000 on the button and was called by Tung Nguyen in the big blind to be put at risk.

Marc Soria: 8♥7♥ All in
Tung Nguyen: 7♣7♠

Nguyen had the best of it with his "walking sticks," and the A♠6♦5♠Q♦5♥ runout failed to improve Soria — eliminating him late in the evening.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Maxime Taldir

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Julien Dupré jammed from the button for 10-12 big blinds, Fabian Rolli in the small blind three-bet all-in with a bigger stack and Gregory Grech in the big blind decided to go all-in as well.

Gregory Grech: 4♦4♣ All in
Julien Dupré: A♦K♠ All in
Fabian Rolli: 5♠5♥

No ace or kings were needed for Dupré to win this pot, as on 6♠10♣6♥10♦9♠, the two pair on the board gave him the best hand. He tripled up, while Grech was eliminated.

Mancuso Drills the Turn to Eliminate Cook

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Yoann Cook shoved for his last 100,000 from under the gun and action folded to Dario Mancuso on the button, who called to put Cook at risk. The players in the blinds got out of the way and a showdown was held.

Yoann Cook: A♣K♠ All in
Dario Mancuso: 9♣9♦

The 3♣A♦5♥ flop vaulted Cook into the lead with a pair of aces, but just as Cook celebrated with a fist pump, the dealer brought the 9♥ on the turn to leave Cook drawing dead against Mancuso's set.

An irrelevant 3♠ completed the board and Cook's stack was sent over to Mancuso.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Nabil Tiabi opened to 30,000 on the button and Lylian Baunez shoved for his last 124,000 from the small blind. Fabian Rolli also went all in from the big blind and Tiabi got out of the way.

Lylian Baunez: A♠5♠ All in
Fabian Rolli: A♥K♦

Rolli had Baunez dominated, and the 2♣7♥6♥3♥5♥ runout needlessly improved Rolli to the nut flush to eliminate Baunez.

Robin Engelmann opened to 26,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Marine Khamvongsa in the big blind, who shoved for a bit over 100,000. Engelmann verified the amount and called to put Khamvongsa at risk.

Marine Khamvongsa: A♥Q♣ All in
Robin Engelmann: 7♠7♥

The 5♦9♥K♣8♣J♦ runout failed to improve Khamvongsa against Engelmann's sevens and she was eliminated.
