After finishing the first day in the money in the last 18 players remaining, he finished 4th in this Tournament and lost with J9 suited. He was very short stack and had to call but nothing came for him and he finished 4th. He goes with 12 000 euros!

Here are player's last hands:

The first player to be out was a French player. Paul (anlau) had QJ and raised as SB. Only the BB called and the flop was T88. Check- check. The turn was a 2 and he put ¾ of the pot raised immediately by his opponent. He called and the river was a 9, giving him the straight. He bet the pot and was raised all-in by his opponent. He called and the Big Blind showed TT and a full house.

Ramon (Monaz) from Netherlands finished 100th and lost with AQ against JQ. He raised preflop and was called by one player. The flop came with J high and all hearts. He got the Ace of heart. He checked-raised all-in his opponent’s bet, and no heart or Ace came on the turn and river.

Jean-Francois (banzai57), from France, finished 90th and lost with AQ against 44 on a flop A4T. Check of both players on the flop, he bet the turn and was called. He bet the river and was committed after the raise of his opponent. He called and saw the trips of the other player.

Martijn (Panetierre) from Netherlands finished 77th and lost with QQ against JJ, raised re-raised preflop. The flop came J55, he bet and was raised all-in. He called and saw the Full house of his opponent.

Sylvain (Sylva33) from France lost in 70th position with AK against QQ all in preflop. The flop came with a K first, followed by a Jack and the third card of the flop was a Q No help turn and river

Lars (RASLLL) from Netherlands, lost with A4 against AT all in preflop and finished 66th . He decided to raise all in after a standard raise by the button. The button called after several minutes of thinking. No improvement.

Francky (frenkeh) from Netherlands lost in 45th position after putting all in preflop with JJ. He was called by A4 who found an ace on the turn.

Manuel (topica) from Italy finished at 43th position and tried to steal a pot with 28 and was called by AJ, no help. He was short stack and the blinds were very high.

Jonathan (poketjoe) from Netherlands finished 35th and lost with QQ against AK all in preflop and a K on the river kicked him out.

Tommy (Musko1), from Sweden who won the 100k guaranteed several months ago, did a very good Tournament and finished 34th after calling the all-in of his opponent with TT. His opponent had A9. A 9 came on the flop and an ace on the river…

Mathieu (tieutieu31), from France finished 32th made also a very good Tournament for his first live experience. He lost with T7 of diamonds. He was Big blind and the Small Blind completed. The flop came KK9. Check by the small blind, and as Tieutieu was short stack, he pushed all-in and was immediately called by the small blind who showed 99 for a fullhouse on the flop.
