Julien Renard Eliminated in 17th Place (€8,050)
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Moncef Karoui opened to 200,000 under the gun and action folded to the short-stacked Julien Renard in the big blind. He quickly moved all in for around 800,000 and Karoui made the quick call.
Julien Renard: J♠J♥
Moncef Karoui: A♣8♦
Renard looked in good shape for a double-up with his pocket jacks, even more so after the Q♥Q♣5♣ flop.
The K♦ rolled off on the turn, but the K♠ hit on the river, meaning Renard had been counterfeited, and Karoui scooped the pot with two pair, kings and queens, with the ace kicker.
The entire table commiserated with Renard on his brutal bust-out as he left the table, and he shook Karoui's hand with a smile on his face as he departed.
