Alex Luneau Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,144)
Stud
Alexandre Luneau doubled twice but his rise back to contention was halted right after that. Luneau lost a big pot to Sachin Bhargava when he completed and then called Bhargava's raise. Luneau called on the fourth street and raised on the fifth before betting on the sixth. The seventh street was checked through but Luneau couldn't beat Bhargava's aces up.

Luneau was short again and he lost all of his remaining chips in the very next hand when he raised after Chris Vitch had completed.
"Alright, let's get it in again," said Vitch and Luneau obliged.

Vitch received back some of earlier lost chips, raking in Luneau's remaining 47,500. Luneau left the table with the ninth-place prize, earning $10,144 for his efforts.
While one French player left the table, another arrived as Fabrice Soulier came from the other side of the feature table set up at Brasilia Room so the play would carry on with four players on each table.
