Alexis Lucarini opened to 900,000 from under the gun with A♥Q♠, leaving himself just 500,000 behind, effectively committing himself. On the button, Habib Brahim looked down at Q♥Q♦ and moved all-in, covering the Frenchman, who called off his remaining chips.
A brutal ace appeared right on the flop as the dealer opened 4♥A♦6♠. No one-outer arrived on the turn or river, and Brahim was left with 1,300,000 after the hand.
Alexis Lucarini: 3,200,000
Habib Brahim: 1,300,000
Just a couple of hands later, Brahim shoved from the hijack with 2♠2♥, and Shaul Weinstein reshoved with A♦J♥, slightly covering the Swede.
Brahim was still ahead on the flop of Q♦4♣8♠, but the turn brought the A♣, putting Weinstein in front. The river offered no help, and Brahim was eliminated in ninth place for €16,200 as the first casualty of the final table.
Shaul Weinstein: 3,200,000
Habib Brahim: 0
