We caught up with the action on the turn as Ludovic Lacay called a more than pot-sized bet on a board reading 
. The river brought the 
, and Lacay's opponent checked to him. Ludovic bet 1,800 at the 4,000-chip pot. Then the other player moved all in, putting Lacay to the test for his whole stack. "Hmmph," huffed Lacay. He took a minute to consider the hand and decided to save his remaining 15,100 for a better spot. It was the right decision, as his opponent showed him 
for the second nuts.
Small Slip for Labussiere
Julien Labussiere was just involved in a minor blind-vs.-blind skirmish. After his neighbor opened with a raise to 375 from the small, he called from the big and the pair saw the flop come 
. Both checked. The turn brought the 
. The player in the small blind checked again, Labussiere bet 350, and his opponent called.

for queens and nines, but his opponent tabled 
for the better two pair.
Labussiere slips to 26,500.
Five Players, No Action
Davidi Kitai opened with a raise to 400 from under the gun and was called by four players, including Thomas Bichon on the button. The action stopped there as all five players checked the 
flop, 
turn, and river. Bichon tabled 
and it was the best of the bunch.
He currently has about 28,000.
River Sinks Portal

. Portal bet 550, then her opponent raised to 1,600. Portal made the call.
The turn was the

The river brought the . Portal checked again, and after spinning his chips about a little, her opponent tossed out a single pink chip -- a bet of 5,000. Portal thought for several seconds, then called. The player on the button flipped over his hand -- 
for a rivered flush. Portal showed hers as well -- 
.
Portal now has 24,500.
Matador Gored by Lerouge
Carlos Mortensen opened to 400 in the hijack, and from the cutoff, Anais Lerouge re-raised to 1,125. Mortensen wasn't scared off by the EPT London Ladies Event winner's uncharacteristic aggression. He four-bet to 4,425, and Lerouge opted to call to see the 
flop. The Matador checked to his opponent, whose boyfriend, Antoine Saout, was eliminated early yesterday. Lerouge bet 5,125. Mortensen played with his chips for several minutes, counting out differently sized stacks for deciding on a flat call. Both players instantly checked the 
turn.
Mortensen went back to taking his time after the river completed every draw in the book. He bet 8,300 in a long line of chips stacked in twos. Lerouge looked pained as she made the call. Mortensen tapped the table and turned over an unimproved 
. Lerouge's 
was plenty good enough to win the hand. Mortensen fell to 12,000 as he shipped his chips to the left, boosting Lerouge to 47,000.
Lucky Lacay
The player in the hijack seat opened for 350 and got three callers -- the cutoff, the small blind, and Ludovic Lacay in the big blind. The flop came 
. It checked to the raiser who continued for 1,150, and only Lacay called.
The turn brought the . Both players checked. The river was the , pairing the board, and both checked once more.
Lacay's opponent tabled 
for two pair. Lacay turned over 
for the heart flush to claim the pot.
"Wow," said Liz Lieu afterwards, sitting a couple of seats to Lacay's right. "Ludovic got lucky!"
"I don't play as well as you do, so I need to get lucky," said Lacay with a wry grin. He pushes back close to 20,000 after that hand.
