French Poker Awards
During Day 1a, the tournament was paused with one level left for an awards ceremony in the casino. The French Poker Awards drew the attention of everyone in attendance as the poker community came together to recognize the French standouts from 2009. Gloria Balding had a VIP pass to the ceremony, and she managed to catch up with a few of the winners (and one no-show) shortly thereafter. While there's not much happening in Day 2, you might want to scope out this video.
