There's no stopping Frenchman Sebastien Chamorro this level. Already leading the field, he just performed a double elimination of short-stacked opponents to boost his stack even further ahead.

"Oui!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, then translated for the table: "Yes! Incredible." He kissed his fingers and aimed them at the ceiling, stacking his towers even higher.
