Livello 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Shawn Daniels limped on the button, and Julien Montois raised it up to 14,000,000 for Daniels to come along.

The flop came 8♦J♠Q♥, Montois bet 12,000,000 for Daniels to call.

The turn was the 4♦, and Montois fired a bet of 25,000,000 out. Daniels confirmed the amount before making the call.

The 4♥ completed the board, and Montois shoved for around 83,000,000. Daniels contemplated it for a bit before putting in a stack of chips for the call. Montois revealed the 10♣3♠ for the missed straight draw for Daniels to jump up and show the K♥Q♠ for two pair, queens and fours.

Montois was eliminated as the runner-up for $400,777 while Daniels got $777,777 and his first WSOP bracelet, to go with his two WSOP Circuit rings.

Livello 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Istvan Briski raised to 6,000,000 from the button and Shawn Daniels defended his big blind.

They both checked through the 9♥5♥7♦ on the flop to the 4♣ on the turn. Daniels fired out a bet of 16,500,000 for Briski to quickly call.

The river completed the board with the 4♦ and Daniels shoved with the bigger stack. Briski jumped into the tank.

"Against anyone else, I would call," Briski muttered. "I have a shit blocker!" he added.

After a while, he called. Daniels revealed the K♦9♣ for two pair, nines and fours. Briski got up from his chair, all defeated and shook Daniels's hand. Daniels prompted the dealer to reveal Briski's hand which was the A♣J♥ for the pair of fours on the board and the ace-kicker in his hand.

Heads-up play continued immediately.

Charles La Boissonniere Eliminated in 5th Place ($125,777)

Livello 41 : Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

After he took the lead, Istvan Briski opened every hand and won the blinds each time except in two hands: when Shawn Daniels moved all in, and when Julien Montois three-bet in the big blind in a blind versus blind situation.

At some point, it was Charles La Boissonniere who open-shoved from the cutoff for a total of 13,000,000 chips. Briski called on the button, and the blinds folded.

Charles La Boissonniere: K♦6♦.
Istvan Briski: A♣6♣.

Charles La Boissonniere stayed behind on the flop 4♦10♠9♠ and on the turn 7♠. He was definitively eliminated after Briski hit the A♥ on the river, giving him a pair.

Finishing fifth, La Boissonniere earned $125,777.
