Pecheux was drawing nearly dead against Cruz’ flopped set. The Diamond 10X XX XX XX XX XHeart 10X XX 10X XX XX AX XHeart 10X XX 10X AX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XHeart XX XX XX XX 10Heart 10X XX XX XSpade 9 river bricked out.

Left crippled, Erwann Pecheux was all in two hands later for his last three big blinds. Both Cruz and Jonathan Khalifa called and the active players checked it down on Diamond 6Diamond 4Heart 9Spade JDiamond 3.

Pecheux flung open Spade QSpade 5, knowing he probably wouldn’t win. Cruz showed Diamond AHeart 8 and Khalifa had the winner with Club KHeart 6 to score his fourth knock-out on the final table.

It was Pecheux’ ninth final table in a WPT National or DeepStacks event – an incredible accomplishment – but once again he missed out on the trophy. The last remaining Team PMU.fr Pro received €13,297 ($14,868) for his fifth place.
