Brendon Rubie bets 65,000 with a few chips behind on the Heart KHeart 6Diamond 2Heart QSpade 9 river and Yu Chung “Nevan” Chang reluctantly folds.

Shortly after, the vacant seat of Yves Thalmann is filled by Nicolas Ragot who opens to 15,000. Rubie jams for 181,000 total and that sends Ragot into a deep tank for more than five minutes. The clock is called on him and Ragot eventually calls.

Nicolas Ragot: Heart JDiamond J

Rubie takes the lead on the Diamond ASpade QClub 10 flop but it is short-lived, as the Spade K turn gives Ragot broadway. Only an ace or king keep Rubie alive but he bricks the Diamond 9 river to bow out.

Vincent Chauve is watching the showdown of his fellow compatriot and recalls his last hand from table 37. Down to 12 big blinds, he jammed jack-ten suited and Viktor Smoliakov prevailed with ace-king according to the Frenchman.

Nicolas Ragot – 420,000
Viktor Smoliakov – 275,000
Yu Chung “Nevan” Chang – 270,000
Vincent Chauve – Eliminated
Brendon Rubie – Eliminated
