Sébastien Compte Eliminated in Third Place (375,000 MAD)
Shortly after Sébastien Compte winning an uncontested pot preflop against Bruno Lopes, he found himself all-in for his tournament life against chip leader Alexis Fleur.
Fleur min-raised the action from the button without looking at his cards to 200,000. Lopes three-bet the action from the small blind and Compte declared himself all-in for 2.16 million. Fleur then looked down at his cards and liked what he saw and called.
Compte: 
Fleur: 
It was just about over on the flop when Fleur nailed a set on a 
board leaving Compte needing two runners for a flush to save him. The 
on the turn had Compte drawing dead before the 
appeared on the river.
After Compte was eliminated in third place for 375,000 MAD (€34,562), action paused for a break with Fleur now holding a slightly more than two-to-one chip advantage.
