Raphaël Abitbol Eliminated in 12th Place (€27,445)

Mohsin Charania opened to 21,000 from early position. Timothy Adams, who was recently moved to the table, called, and Raphaël Abitbol three-bet to 125,000 from the blinds. Charania quickly moved all in, Adams mucked, and the action was back on Abitbol. With just 150,000 or so behind, Abitbol tanked for the better part of thirty seconds, then called.

The board ran out {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} , and Abitbol, a French qualifier who claims to have never played in a live tournament prior to the Grand Prix de Paris, is eliminated.
