Thomas Eychenne Eliminated by Artem Vezhenkov

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000
Thomas Eychenne

Thomas Eychenne raises from the hijack to 12,000, Artem Vezhenkov reraises from the cutoff to 30,000, and Eychenne moves all in for 132,000.


Vezhenkov calls with 8 8 , and Eychenne turns over 6 6 . Eychenne needs to improve to stay alive.


The board comes A 5 4 7 T , and Eychenne turns an open-ended straight draw with a spade flush draw, but improves no further. Vezhenkov wins the pot with his pocket eights to eliminate Eychenne from the tournament.

Thomas Eychenne Earns a Double Thru Jon Kyte

Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000
Thomas Eychenne

Just before the end of the level, Jon Kyte raises to 11,000 and reluctantly calls the shove by Thomas Eychenne for 67,500. The French player has a premium hand in J J and Kyte needs to improve with the A 7 .


However, there is no threat for Eychenne on the J 9 3 6 K board and he survives.


Georgios Skarparis is not as fortunate as he sends his entire stack over to John "Bert" Perry in the very last hand before the third break on Day 2.
