Roger Tondeur Eliminated in 14th Place (69,000 MAD)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Roger Tondeur
Roger Tondeur

Roger Tondeur shoved all in for around 520,000 from mid-position. HCC was next to act in the hijack, he thought about it for a while and then decided to also shove all in for about 1,000,000. Action folded to Polo Santoni in the big blind. He looked at his card, tanked for a little while and then also went all-in for 806,000.

Polo Santoni: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
HCC: {A-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Roger Tondeur: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

When all the cards were open, Tondeur, Santoni and HCC got up immediately. The players from the other table also swarmed Table 2 to see what was happening. The floor announced to the audience what the hole cards were and then instructed the dealer to deal the flop.

The first card in the window was the {6-Spades} but then he opened the rest: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Santoni cheered loudly and gasps could be heard all over the tournament room. The players at the table all seemed in shock, HCC was still staring at the table with his hands in his hair. Shlomo Ohana just kept staring with his mouth wide open. Tondeur just shrugged.

The dealer then dealt the {Q-Spades} on the turn and the {9-Hearts} on the river to complete the board. Tondeur shook hands with the rest and walked away to find the rail. He has been eliminated in 14th place and pocketed 69,000 MAD.

Nathan Bluffs Halimi

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The pot contained about 110,000 in it and the board read {10-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Rony Halimi check-called the 50,000 bet of Nathan.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts}, Halimi checked again. Nathan put all his dark green 25,000-value chips in as a bet worth 350,000 in total. Halimi tanked.

"You have the ten..." Halimi said to Nathan.

"You?" Nathan misunderstood.

"No... You!" Halimi replied while shaking his head.

In the end, he folded. Nathan showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for the bluff.
