Quarto Busts Askey

Niveau 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Anthony Askey raised it to 500,000 from middle position, leaving 50,000 behind. Action folded around to Roslyn Quarto in the big blind, who reraised all in.

Askey stalled, admitting he was hoping a player would bust for the pay jump. "I would have looked smart if I said that was the reason I put you all in," Quarto said.

Askey apologized to the table and said he would only wait another thirty seconds, but when those thirty seconds were up and no one had busted, Askey called.

Anthony Askey: 10♣7♣
Roslyn Quarto: A♥2♣

Quarto hit a deuce on the 5♥3♥2♠ flop, improved to two pair on a 5♠ turn, and then rivered a straight on the 4♣ river just for good measure, and Askey was not able to survive to the next pay jump.

Lang Doubles Through Guez

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

On the button, Khoi Lang moved all in for 1,500,000 chips. In the big blind, Jonathan Guez seemed to struggle to make a decision. He counted his stack, checked the blinds level and the payout, and then took a pile of chips to call.

Khoi Lang: J♥J♠
Jonathan Guez: A♦4♦

Standing up and filming the action, Lang stayed ahead on the flop 5♣K♦9♥, the turn 10♠, and the river 8♦. "Let's f****** go!" Lang shouted when the last card of the board landed on the table. Guez was not as happy as Lang, as he lost half of his stack on this hand.

A few hands later, the Frenchman has been eliminated.

Full House Over Full House For Saout

FlorenceMazet

Niveau 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The under-the-gun player opened and was called in early position. Antoine Saout called on the button, as did Jonathan Levy in the big blind player.

On the flop K♦K♣6♦, all players checked.

On the turn 9♦, the opener bet 300,000, Saout called and Levy raised to 1,000,000. The under-the-gun player thought for a while before releasing his hand and Saout went all-in. Levy called.

Jonathan Levy: 6♥6♠
Antoine Saout: 9♥9♠

The river didn't change anything and Saout eliminated Levy to rank among the leaders.
