Yorane Kerignard Eliminated in 6th Place (€130,000)

[user66118]

Yorane Kerignard had raised two hands in a row (including that big double on the last one), and on the third, he limped in from the small blind. In the big, though, Dimitar Danchev raised it up to 240,000, and the rest of the action came rather quickly. Kerignard shoved in, Danchev snapped, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Kerignard: {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}
Danchev: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

Kerignard was the one at risk, and he needed his little pair to hold strong to keep him alive. The flop came {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} , though, and it was Danchev with a huge lead, two cards from the knockout. The turn {6-Hearts} and river {7-Clubs} failed to provide the two-out salvation for Kerignard, and he has been sent off in 6th place. That's good for €130,000.
