Nível 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Arthur Schiavo left the tournament area with a very loud "fuck" after his flopped set of fours went down in flames, up against ace-king which went runner-runner for the superior full house.

Two tables over, Julien Duveau got it in for 16,300 preflop with the 7♠7♥. Dann Turner looked him up with A♥10♠ and hit broadway on the K♠J♣5♥7♦Q♣ runout.
