Miguel Couceiro Eliminated in 14th Place (62,000 MAD / �5,668)
In the first of two hands that led to Miguel Couceiro's demise, he and Mathieu Papineau got it both in and were all smiles when they revealed the same pair.
Miguel Couceiro: 
Mathieu Papineau: 
"Come on, no joke, just split pot please," Couceiro said. The sweat became very real though, as the flop appeared 
. The 
on the turn was safe for Couceiro, but the 
on the river improved Papineau to an improbable flush.
The Portuguese had to fork over 760,000 of his chips to Papineau and was left with a mere 160,000. After folding his big blind, the next hand it was Jaouad Abida raised to 90,000 on the button, Couceiro shoved his final 110,000 from the small blind, Papineau called from the big blind and Abida could only call as well.
The 
flop got checked by both players. Papineau bet 105,000 on the 
turn and Abida open-folded 
.
Miguel Couceiro: 
Mathieu Papineau: 
Papineau finished what he had started with yet another club flush and Couceiro was drawing dead, making the 
river merely one for the statistics. He finished in 14th place and received 62,000 MAD.
