Qunber Eliminated; Buyl into Chip Lead

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Tarek Qunber moved all in for 227,000 from early position. Martin Olali flat-called off of a stack of around a million before Maxim Buyl three-bet all in for over a million. Sylvain Nazarian folded, as did Olali and the cards were turned over.

Maxim Buyl: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Tarek Qunber: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board came {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Qunber was eliminated, joining the early eliminations of Jonuskis Mindaugas, Antoine Fontaine, Erwann Pecheux and Pierre Colombie.

The tournament is now redrawing around four tables.
