Bruno Lopes Eliminated in 13th place (�13,350)

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Bruno Lopes
Bruno Lopes

Jeremie Zouari raised to 100,000 from middle position and was called by Antoine Labat on the button. Bruno Lopes then moved all in from the small blind for 1,100,000. Zouari folded and Labat made the call with Lopes covered.

Bruno Lopes: J?10?
Antoine Labat: K?K?

Lopes had attempted a squeeze play but Labat had slow played his pocket kings.

The board ran out Q?10?4?6?3?. Lopes did pair up on the flop, but couldn't improve on the turn or river. Labat held up with his pocket kings and once again scooped a huge pot to bring himself towards the top of the leaderboard.

Lopes was eliminated in 13th place for �13,350.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The Frenchman tabled his Q?2? for a pair of queens and Aparicio conceded the pot.

Zouari Fades Flush to Double Up

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jeremie Zouari
Jeremie Zouari

Action folded to Bruno Lopes, who raised to 100,000 from the button. Nicolas Julien responded by moving all in from the small blind and Jeremie Zouari quickly made the call in the big blind. Lopes folded and two players flipped their cards, with Zouari at risk.

Jeremie Zouari: J?J?
Nicolas Julien: 9?8?

Zouari had pocket jacks and was way out ahead preflop. The board ran out A?3?2?2?9?.

The flop brought Julien a flush draw and Zouari had to sweat it out. Julien failed to catch up, however, and Zouari scooped the pot for a double up.

Soraya Estrada Eliminated in 14th place (�11,100)

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Soraya Estrada
Soraya Estrada

Action folded around to Antoine Labat, who had doubled up just one hand before. He moved all in from the button for 520,000. Soraya Estrada made the call in the small blind and Labat had her covered. Fabio Peluso also called in the big blind and had both players covered, meaning Labat and Estrada were both at risk.

Soraya Estrada: Q?10?
Antoine Labat: K?Q?
Fabio Peluso: A?J?

The board ran out Q?K?2?4?J?. That gave Estrada a pair of queens, but Labat two pair on the flop. Peluso made a pair of jacks on the river, which wasn't enough to win even the side pot.

Labat tripled up and Estrada was eliminated from the tournament in 14th place for �11,100.
