We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to race off the black T100 chips. Back in ten.
Bevand Bounced
Manuel Bevand open-shoved all in from early position for 32,600, then Julien Labuissiere reraised all in from the cutoff seat with his below-average-but-better-than- Bevand stack of 42,200. The others folded, Bevand showed 
, and Labuissiere 
.
Five cards later -- 
-- and all was settled. Bevand has been eliminated, and Labuissiere now has about 75,000.
Rettenmaier Runs Out
Marvin Rettenmaier has been eliminated. Low on chips and high on hopes, Rettenmaier went with 
and had to catch up to Dominik Nitsche's 
. The board cards didn't cooperate with Rettenmaier, though, coming 
, and Rettenmaier hit the rail.
Nitsche's comeback continues. He's at 85,000 now.

Bounce for Benzinou
After Basri Said opened with a raise from the cutoff seat, Joel Benzinou reraised all in from the small blind for his last 36,400. The big blind folded, and Said said he was calling.
Benzinou should 
and Said 
. The flop further secured Benzinou's advantage, coming 
. The turn was the 
, making the 
river no matter.
Benzinou survives, though is still relatively short with 77,000. Said, meanwhile, has been crippled down to just 6,000.
Rony's Roll Continues
Not long after that big hand in which he busted Sam Chartier, Damien Rony claimed yet another victim -- and another big pot -- knocking out Santiago Terrazas.
After that one, Rony becomes the new chip leader with 390,000.
Chartier's Aces Run Into Rony's Kings
Samuel Chartier and Damien Rony got into a raising war, and by the end, Chartier's whole stack of 97,000 was in the middle. He was in good shape to double up with 
against Rony's 
, but then, it wouldn't be a poker tournament without some good old fashioned aces cracking. The flop was safe, but the on the turn got a groan from the whole table. The river didn't help, and Chartier beat a hasty path to the door. Rony gave a sheepish smile as he stacked up 230,000.
Mars Attacked
Jean-Jacques Mars got his last chips in with and was flipping with Andrei One's . The board came 
, and though both were hit hard, it was One's full house that took the pot and sent Mars into orbit. One was launched to 295,000.
Goyer on the Go
Davidi Kitai opened with a raise to 5,500 from early position and got one call from Guillaume Goyer in the cutoff. The flop came . Kitai checked, Goyer bet 9,200, and Kitai called. The turn brought the 
and another check from Kitai. Goyer bet 27,000 this time, and after some deliberation Kitai made the call.
The river was the 
. Kitai quickly checked, and after a bit of hesitation Goyer checked as well. Goyer tabled his cards -- 
for a set of fours -- and Kitai grinned sheepishly, seeming to indicate that he might well have lost more there had Goyer bet the river.
Goyer is now up to 240,000 while Kitai has 115,000.
