Photo: Guillaume Darcourt (standing, right) can only smile as he is eliminated by Wil Wilkinson (standing, left).
Wil Wilkinson raises from early position to 38,000, and Guillaume Darcourt calls from middle position. The flop comes [Ac10d7h], Wilkinson bets 55,000, and Darcourt calls.
The turn card is the [8c], Wilkinson bets 80,000, and Darcourt thinks for a bit before moving all in. Wilkinson quickly calls with [8d8s] for a set of eights, and Darcourt turns over [9c7d] for a pair with an open-ended straight draw.
The river card is the [3s], and Wilkinson wins the pot with his set of eights to eliminate Guillaume Darcourt in 18th place.
Wil Wilkinson – 1,700,000 (106 BBs)
Guillaume Darcourt – Out in 18th Place ($40,266)
