Level 37 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Guillaume Nolet
Guillaume Nolet

Guillaume Nolet moved all in for 52 million in the hijack with {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Anthony Ruberto quickly called with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} on the button. It was a light shove from Nolet and he was now in danger of being eliminated on the official final table bubble.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Nolet did not pick up any help. The {a-Clubs} on the turn left Nolet drawing dead to the {8-Clubs} on the river. Nolet was eliminated and Ruberto was the beneficiary of his chips.

The final eight players will now take some final table pictures and a quick break before the action resumes.

Fish Doubles Through Nolet

Level 37 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Tommy Nguyen raised to 11 million in the hijack with {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Darryll Fish shipped all in for 89 million with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} in the cutoff. Guillaume Nolet re-shipped all in for 140 million with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Nguyen mucked his cards.

Fish was the player at risk but had the far more superior hand. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Fish took a commanding lead with a set of aces. The {k-Clubs} on the turn gave Nolet a straight draw but the {10-Diamonds} on the river bricked off, giving Fish a full double up.

Kings for Kiriopoulos

Level 37 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Demo Kiriopoulos

Taylor Black raised it up to 12 million with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} in middle position and Anthony Ruberto three-bet to 30 million with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} directly to his left. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos woke up with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} on the button and shipped all in for 69 million. Black quickly got out of the way and Ruberto made the call.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Kiriopoulos was still out front with his pair of kings. Ruberto was drawing to one out as one of the jacks was already folded. The {2-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as Kiriopoulos scored himself a big double up.

Two Pair for Black Gives him the Chip Lead

Level 37 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

George Lagos opened to 11 million from middle position with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and Guillaume Nolet just flat-called with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} in the cutoff. Taylor Black also called on the button with {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and the flop came {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Lagos led out for 15 million with top pair and Nolet just called with his overpair. Black flopped bottom two pair and just made the call as well. The {6-Clubs} rolled off on the turn and Lagos opted to check this time. Nolet also checked and Black fired out 40 million with the best hand. Lagos called and Nolet let his pocket kings go.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Lagos checked one more time. Black put together a bet of 70 million and Lagos paid him off. Black scooped a healthy pot and moved well in front of the rest of the table.
