Franco Eliminates Derwiche
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
On a 
flop Sonny Franco checked to Imad Derwiche. The pair exchanged jokes, with Derwiche holding his stack in his hand hovering it above the felt. Franco mirrored his opponent with his own stack.
Derwiche dropped his chips in the middle and was all in, with Franco snap-calling.
Imad Derwiche: 
Sonny Franco: 
Derwiche called for a three but the 
runout saw Franco send Derwiche to the rail.

Big-Stacked Table
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
Former chip leader Adrian looks like he had handed over a large portion of his chips to tablemate Jean Belkhayat who appears to be the new chip leader with around 150,000 chips.
However, neither player was in action with a three-way all in in progress at their table.
Suago: 
Nabil: 
Anas Tadini: 
It was nicknames galore, with Tadini in bad shape against Nabil's jacks. Suago covered both players and hit his queen on the 
runout to move up to 110,000, seated to the direct left of Belkhayat.
