Philippe D’Auteuil has been eliminated in 3rd place in a very surprising turn of events that occurred just a few hands after he had moved to 3rd in chips. Jonathan Bussieres was in the small blind and chose to use his newly-gained stack to steal – but Philippe had a real hand and insta-called and was way ahead preflop.

The flop was not kind to him though: 
– Jonathan had made a pair. There was no help for Philippe from the turn 
or the river 
and he was eliminated in 3rd place.
