Lucien Cohen finished 28th here last year for €19,000, and won the whole thing in 2011 for €880,000. He won't be going deep this year, he was just eliminated by Frenchman Joel Vanderschelden.
Jose Alastuey opened for 500 from middle position and Lucien Cohen pushed his last 3,400 to the middle. He received a call from Joel Vanderschelden on the button and Alastuey called as well. 
on the flop and Alastuey checked to Vanderschelden in the empty side pot. Vanderschelden bet out 6,000 and Alastuey folded.
Cohen had to table his hand and might have still have had a little bit of hope having hit with his 
. He was in a world of pain though as Vanderschelden tabled 
for a flopped set. Cohen needed runner runner something but it was all done after the 
hit the turn. To rub some more salt into the wound the river came the 
giving Vanderschelden quads.
Lucien Cohen, who we didn't see bringing his iconic plastic rat card protector this year, made his exit. Ian Simpson and Tark Abboud also left the tournament, their registration tickets were on the "busted" table.
