Triste fin pour les Français sur le WSOP #36 disputé en 6-Max à 5000$ l'entrée, dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi.
En difficulté en début de Jour 3, Louis Linard est revenu à force de patience et trois coups à tapis remportés contre Robert Khun. Ce dernier a finalement craqué en ouvrant en petite blinde avec avant de payer le tapis à 30bb de Labrik en grosse blinde. Le Français perd le flip et s'incline finalement en 13e position pour 24 799$. Il rate un palier à 7000$ et voit surtout son adversaire grimper au 5e rang provisoire à 12 left. L'Américain ne gagnera plus un coup et s'inclinera finalement en 10e position...
Quelques minutes avant, le contingent tricolore s'était évanoui dans la nature, Dan Abouaf rendant les armes sur un coup dont il se souviendra longtemps. Le tricolore trébuche avec contre chez Faraz Jaka à tapis préflop pour un pot de 1,8 million de jetons qui lui aurait probablement permis d'atteindre la finale à 6 joueurs qui se déroulera dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Une cruelle rivière l'éxécute en 11e position pour un gain de 32 105$.
Pas en réussite, les Bleus ratent donc le Jour 4 et une finale qui promet beaucoup vu le lineup... et cela malgré les éliminations de Mike Leah (17e), Jonathan Jaffe (16e) et Giuseppe Pantaleo (15e) pour 24 799$ au cours de la nuit.
