Louis Linard Eliminates Two Players; Soars into Chip Lead

Shortly after Fadhil Farag was eliminated when his nines ran into the Jacks of Pierrick Burban, we got to a table there was a small crowd assembled with two players all in and at risk against Louis Linard (pictured above).

Djamel Ouaret:

Daniel:

Louis Linard:

Linard already had around 900,000, with Ouaret all in for around 250,000 and Daniel all in for slightly more. The board ran out with various players high-fiving as they celebrated the double knockout.

Linard now has more than 1.8m in chips and is the current tournament chip leader.
