Rodney Ramalho started the day as one of the most experienced players in the tournament, and is ending it by proving what experience (plus skill and a little luck) can do for a tournament player. Although he has had a healthy stack for some time in the tournament, since the final table has come together he has managed to bump his stack up to around 1,300,000 chips – as much as 2x anyone else’s holdings to this point.
Rodney was responsible for one of the last two eliminations – Sébastien Proulx in 8th place. We missed the action, but arrived at the table to see Rodney incorporate several full stacks of 20K and 100K into his own.
8th place: Sébastien Proulx, $2,240
Just seconds later we noticed Rong Xu make a snap call on Julien Baptiste Roger Arneodo’s small shove.

The community cards gave Rong the full house and the win – and send Julien to the Tournament Desk to get his payout coupon.
7th place: Julien Baptiste Roger Arneodo, $2,950
