D'Auteuil Backs Into a Winner

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Philippe D'Auteuil moved all-in for 30,500 from under the gun and Faisal Khan min-raised from the small blind. The big blind folded.

D'Auteuil tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, up against Khan's {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Khan immediately flopped big with two pair. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} to give D'Auteuil some outs to survive, and sure enough the river was the {10-Spades} to give him the double-up.

That Was Quick

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Pascal Lefrancois and Marc-Olivier Carpentier-Perrault were just seen hitting the rail and are the first two casualties of the day.

Lefrancois entered late before play started and had 20 big blinds to work with, while Carpentier-Perrault bagged on Day 1 yesterday but began with just under a starting stack.

Ladies for Engel

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

David Ormsby raised to 11,000 from under the gun and Ari Engel three-bet to 33,000 from the hijack. Ormsby four-bet jammed and Engel snapped it off for 148,000.

Engel tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} while Ormsby had {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The flop came {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to keep Engel in the lead with two ladies. The turn was the {a-Hearts} and Ormsby picked up a gut-shot, but the river was the {7-Diamonds} and Engel held to double-up on his second bullet.
