Emile Carette pushed his last 80,000 chips, two blinds, in the middle with {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and it was called by Anas Tadini on the button and GRJ in the blinds.

The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and went check-check. On the turn {8-Spades}, GRJ check-called Tadini's bet for 50,000. The river {k-Clubs} brought no betting action.

Tadini tabled {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines and GRJ showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the pair under. Carette won the main pot and tripled up to 220,000.

A few minutes later, in a blind versus blind situation, Azapl shoved and Carette made the call with the exact same stack to create the following showdown:

Emile Carette: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Azapl: {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Carette was in good shape for another double up, but the runout {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} gave trips to his opponent and eliminated the French player in 8th Place.
