After having grinded a short stack in the early levels of the day, Brian Altman has just jumped above the average after scoring a double through Vlad Darie. The latter had opened to 5,500 on the button and Altman three-bet to 19,500 in the big blind. Darie moved all in and Altman called for 84,500.

The board came and Altman's trip kings won the pot.

Francois Evard check-raised all in after a turn against Christoph Vogelsang and the latter asked for a count after having bet 15,000. The all in was for 49,000 and Vogelsang sighed "why didn't I check?" before sending his cards into the muck.

Niveau 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Denis Timofeev left the tournament area and briefly mentioned in Russian to another countryman that he had busted, and his former table showed a massive stack in front of Nicolas Dumont. According to Dumont, he had five-bet shoved with pocket kings into the pocket aces of Timofeev and got there to skyrocket up in the counts.

Soon after, Thomas Lilamand was all in for 23,000 and Dumont called from two seats over with the flop reading .

Thomas Lilamand:
Nicolas Dumont:

The turn and river run out gave Dumont the nut flush and Lilamand exited with a sigh. While that boosted Dumont to half a million, it's still not good enough for the overall lead, Mark Demirdjian still has that beat.
