Day 3 still involved 22 players including 4 French. These musketeers all came back with more than 20 blinds and big ambitions on this National Day… but July 14 was not fireworks until the end.
Virgile Turchi jumped very quickly on a flip, he will console himself with $16,860 for this deep-run in a tournament that brought together 1,364 entrants (21st).
The first 6 outgoing of the day jumped in less than two hours, it was then necessary to wait a long time before seeing Julien Loire go out Kenny Hallaert (16th) starting from behind… his pair of Jacks turning into a square to crack the Kings of the Belgian!
Chipleader at the start of Final Day, and one of the 3 WSOP winners still in contention, David Miscikowski (13th) lasted just a little longer than Nicolas Vayssieres. After an end to Day 2 where he was familiar with the peaks, Chèvre.miel finally lost in 14th position for $20,585.
Vayssières fell against Brian Keith Etheridge, who marched on the final up to 4 lefts before doubling everyone to finally afford a lucrative podium. WSOP Winner, Ran Koller surrendered to him in 8th position.
After a big double-up at the start of the day on Matt Berkey (7th), the now triple WSOP finalistAxel Hallay continued his journey to the bottom of the podium, pocketing $162,627. The Frenchman’s top pair on the flop couldn’t do anything against the future winner’s run…
Julien Loire eliminated Brian Keith Etheridge to start the last duel with 20 of the 47 million chips in circulation, the ultimate confrontation lasted about twenty minutes. The fault of a river giving straight to the French but especially Full House to the player from Montreal!
Loire will console itself with a wondrous gain of $308,817!

It is therefore Sebastian Dawn who triumphed over theEvent #78: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em. The Canadian pockets nearly half a million dollars, he started Final Day in the Top 5 and reached the final in the lead.
“I played casually when I was 20 and came across the Masterclass of Daniel Negreanu during the pandemic… i always liked this guy so i thought let’s go. He motivated me, to win at poker and in business it’s the same recipe, so I got hooked,” said the champion, who came to test himself in Las Vegas.
After his elimination from the Main Event, he did well to try his luck again. “I’m on cloud nine, I was there for the bracelet and it’s incredible I’m going to leave with it, it’s a rare accomplishment, especially for a paid second place in a tournament,” laughed the Montreal player.
“I can’t wait to celebrate with my girlfriend, my friends and my family… my girlfriend is sleeping but she will wake up with exceptional news”, concluded this young dad!
