Pacal LeFrancois Eliminated in 11th Place ($635,011)
Posted 5 minutes ago by F-Train


Pascal LeFrancois - 11th place
After a seeming eternity of small pots, the outer table became a hub of activity as Jonathan Duhamel opened to 750,000. Pascal LeFrancois had the button and called that raise. Joseph Cheong then re-raised the small blind to 2.55 million, inducing a fold from Duhamel. LeFrancois must have smelled a squeeze, because he pushed all in. Cheong quickly called with[kh] [ks] , and was looking good against LeFrancois' [qs] [js] . A jack on the flop,[6h] [jd] [2h] , surely gave Cheong a moment of discomfort, but it passed when the turn came [kd] to give Cheong an unbeatable hand. The [3s] ended LeFrancois' tournament in 11th place.

We're now on a break to set up the "last" table of 10 players. This is the November Nine bubble!

Brandon Steven Eliminated in 10th Place ($635,011)

At 5:40am, five hours and forty-five minutes after the elimination of 11th-place finisher Pascal LeFrancois, Jonathan Duhamel opened a pot for 1.225 million pre-flop. The next player to act was short-stacked Brandon Steven. He moved all in for a total of 4.475 million. Matthew Jarvis then called the all in, bringing the crowd to its feet again. Once Duhamel folded, it was on in the most classic of ways.

Steven: [ac][ks]
Jarvis: [qs][qc]

Shouting. Lots of shouting. People calling for this card or that card. You wouldn't think the sleepy crowd had this much energy left. The noise got louder after the flop came no help to Steven, [4h][3d][10c]. Some in the crowd asked for a jack on the turn to keep things interesting. Instead it was a board-pairing [4c]. Nine players were one card away from the November Nine. The dealer burned and turned...

[5h]

A collective roar went up from the crowd, with people jumping and cheering. Steven was eliminated! The bubble was finally burst. With Steven's departure in 10th-place, we have nine very happy players on the stage.

Finishing 10th would be heartbreaking, but getting sucked out on would probably be worse in my mind. At least it was standard.

Finishing 15th and losing to a 6 outer for over 40million chips is sick.

FInishing tenth is just unfortunate.

i bet matt affleck feels worse

[muzzington]

He'd feel even worse if it were Fillipo Candio that knocked him out There would have been a parade about his knockout in Brazil.
