Timothe Labassa Eliminated in 2nd Place (�62,000)

Level 46
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Timothe Labassa limped from the button so Aliosha Staes only had to check his option to discover a flop of 6?4?7?.
Labassa bet 1,600,000, but Staes check-raised to 4,900,000. Labassa went into the tank and announced "all-in" for 24,000,000. Staes snap-called.
Timothe Labassa: K?7??
Aliosha Staes: 8?5?
Staes flopped a straight, so Labassa was almost drawing dead. The A?J? runout completed the board and confirmed Staes' success.
"It's over" said Staes, who immediately jumped into his friends' arms. "One Belgian against six French, let's go," he added before sitting back down. "I want to keep playing !", he joked, while Labassa was finishing in second place for �62,000.
