The field thins out…

Sébastien Schahl of Winamax has just gone!

After pushing all-in preflop and getting a caller, the Frenchman shows 5♥ 5♠ against his opponents K♣ J♣ . With a J♦ landing on the flop, the Winamax player found himself with an uphill struggle that would not end in his favour. The A♥ on the turn, and a Q♠ on the river, sealed the Frenchman’s elimination. He’s happy with how he played, and now has a taste for the big events. This is the first poker tournament of this stature that he’s participated in, and says he wants to play more of them now! He’s very upbeat and still smiling. Great attitude from a nice cheery guy!
