Alberto Ah-Line knows how it feels to run deep in National tournaments. Just a year ago, the man from Réunion finished in third place in the National, won by his friend Jean-René Fontaine. Now, Ah-Line was facing a big sweat if he was to make a similar run, as he had his final chips in with against the of Diego Vilela.
The board came down to improve the Frenchman to a flush and in relief, Ah-Line got up and darted around a bit before sitting down again.
Danny Bao was all in for his last 85,000 from the cutoff and he was called by big blind Rodrigo Peceli Presutti. Presutti only covered him by a bit and would be left with less than six big blinds if he would lose the hand.

Rodrigo Peceli Presutti:
The board ran out and Bao doubled up while Presutti needs to find a double up now.
