Thorel Eliminates Gieles In Two Hands
In two hands, Luuk Gieles has been eliminated by Jean-Noel Thorel. In the first hand, it was Thorel who opened to 4,500 from under the gun. Gieles called 
to his left, and two other players called as well. Sergi Reixach three-bet to 23,000 from the big blind and Thorel called.
Gieles moved in for around 100,000, Reixach folded, and Thorel called all in for 69,000. Thorel held 
and got everything he needed when the board ran out 
.
In the next hand, Bryn Kenney raised in middle position, Thorel called from the small blind, and Gieles called from the big blind.
The flop was 
and both blinds checked to Kenney, who bet 6,000. Thorel called, Gieles moved all in for 28,000, Kenney called, Thorel then came all in over the top with his now 150,000 stack, and Kenney folded to the Frenchman's shove.

Gieles needed to pair one of his holecards again to escape elimination but failed to do so on the 
turn and 
river.
