Surprising

After a slow 7 handed play for awhile there was some thinking that this final table could be a long one (could still be) but with two quick exits in succession it looks like it might be a frantic final table.

Another One Bites the Dust Julien Lourdin - 5th

While in the middle of writing up the previous entry Julien Lourdin has exited the event in 5th place once again at the hands of Damien Llommeau.

Lourdin held 1010 vs the JJ of Llommeau & when the flop came down J89 there was some outs for Lourdin to scoop with a straight draw but as the turn and river bricked with a 6 & 2 just like that we are down to 4.

Received the hand details off one of the French bloggers cheers to him.

5th - Damien Llommeau - €19,000

Quick Exit Loic Hervier - 6th

No sooner had we just started the final table we had out first exit when Loic Hervier was eliminated by Damien Llommeau with all the money going in pre flop AK vs 99 with an Ace on the flop.

Didn't even get a chance to get a picture of him in his seat.

6th - Loci Hervier - €15,000

Bubble

Antoine Pignon was the unfortunate final table bubble boy as he was eliminated at the hands of Damien Llommeau when they both got their chips all in on the turn on a board reading As4c10c8dAh with A3 vs AJ.

Pignon will walk away with €12,000 for his troubles.

We we nearly down to our final table of 6 but Julien Lourdin managed to suck out when all the chips went in on the flop of AJQ when his Q4 got there on the turn against A5.

Unofficial

We are down to our final 7 players which is the unofficial final table, players will be going on a 1 hour dinner break now and we will be back at 9pm to play out to our champion.

Double Through

Irish man Mick Graydon has managed to double through the tournament chip leader Damien Llommeau when Graydon held AhKh vs Kc8c on a king high board two clubs, catching the action on the flop and "it's I have to hold" as the dealer burnt & turned and rivered brick brick for Graydon.

Count down of the stacks and it's 761,000 to take him back up to over 1,500,000
