Pierre Fehner is playing impressive aggressive poker so far today. Fehner was involved in a four-way flop which came out . The two players in the blinds checked as did the original raiser and Fehner put out a bet of 1,300.
The blinds folded but the remaining player was lying in wait with a check-raise to 5,000 leaving around 15,000 behind. Fehner raised her right back to 10,000 with little hesitation. After some chip riffling and a few enquiries to tournament staff she let it go and Fehner stacked a few more chips.

Sebastien Le Baron is another player sitting with a big pile of chips. It seems he has also amassed all the pale green T25 chips from the table which are balanced in a comically large tower in front of him. Not only that, he just added to his pile when he bust .
Le Baron was in the blinds in a heads-up pot against Kremer. The flop was and Le Baron check-called a bet of 3,000. Kremer had 7,700 behind and when the turn came the and Le Baron checked it all went in the middle.
Le Baron asked Kremer if he wanted a call and prevaricated for a short time after getting a non-committal answer. He did though make the call and Kremer showed his which was losing to the flopped pair of Le Baron’s . The river sealed the deal and Le Baron added to his stack before giving an apologetic shrug and rising to shake the hand of Kremer who accepted the gesture with good grace.

Having written earlier about the lack of the floor being called there have been a few cases recently including two at practically the same time.
Both infringements were for leaving the table before action had reached the players. When they returned they were informed they would face a penalty of two hands this time. One player tried to argue his case but, of course, the ruling stood.
Sebastien Didier is sitting on a stack just over 70,000 which is likely near the top of the room. He is on the table that Albert Sebag busted from and they seem to be passing the chips around quite frequently. Let’s see if he can hang on to them.

Philippe Barouk was all in preflop, and as two other players were battling it out and were all in by the turn on a board reading it looked pretty grim for the veteran player. The river completed the board.
Azzedine [Removed:433] tabled which bust David Sieauvy holding . Barouk had a surprise in front of him however as he tuned over his flopped set to double up and survive.

Albert Sebag had looked pretty confident in the first few levels but that dent to his stack not long ago heralded the end of his day soon after. Returning to his table we saw that Stephanie Pagosse to his left had significantly increased his own stack.
Unfortunately the language barrier couldn’t be bridged to tease out the action but he confirmed with a nod that he had indeed bust Sebag not long ago.
