Julien Rouquet Eliminated in 11th Place ($13,155)
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Georges Chehade opened to 300,000 from the cutoff, Julien Rouquet three-bet shoved for around 2,700,000 from the small blind, Dawid Smolka shoved for the top for 3,400,000 from the big blind and Chehade got out of the way leaving Rouquet at risk against Smolka.
Julien Rouquet: A?K? 
Dawid Smolka: A?Q?
Rouquet was in great shape to scoop a massive pot with a dominiating ace but Smolka spiked a queen on the Q?10?3? flop and remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 6?7? to send Rouquet to the rail in brutal fashion and drag in a colossal pot.
