Francis Margaglione is the most recent opponent to meet his fate courtesy of chip leader Idris Ambraisse. Margaglione got his last roughly 125,000 in the middle preflop and was drawing slim with 5s5d against Ambraisse’s 8c8h. The runout fell lame and Margaglione hit the rail in 33rd place.

After busting Francis Margaglione in 33rd place, Idris Ambraisse has more than 4,100,000 chips

For Ambraisse, the hand moved him further above the 4,000,000 mark. Here are some figures putting Ambraisse’s 4,125,000 chips in perspective:

  • Ambraisse holds more than 19 percent of the total chips in play with 32 players remaining
  • He claims more than 200 big blinds which accounts for just under six times the average stack
  • If play was five-handed right now, he’d have an average stack

Idris Ambraisse – 4,125,000 (206 bb)
Francis Margaglione – Eliminated in 33rd place ($1,581)
