Roy Chips Up, Deals with Teisseire
The dealer ran out a flop of
, and both men checked. The 
on the turn drew another check from the small blind, and Roy figured it was time to bet 800. His opponent quickly called, and the 
filled out the board. Roy put out 1,500 chips this time, and his opponent check-called on the river as well.Roy tabled
for top two, and it was good enough to earn him the pot. He's up to about 37,000 at the moment, and we've just realized he's sitting at a table with another gregarious Frenchman, Antonin Teisseire. Roy and Teisseire have shared the felt before -- most notably at the 2008 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event where they both made the final table.
A Sounder Decision Than Zguba's
board - but Cannoussamy turned over 
and Zguba mucked, leaving himself with 18,000.
Cao for Now
This seemed very exciting, but all three checked the
flop, and come the 
turn it checked to Gurtovoy, who bet 650. Cao made the call and they moved, heads-up, on to the 
river, which both players checked again. There followed a brief argument over who should turn their cards over first, and in the end Cao turned over 
. Gurtovoy mucked, and Cao made a small recovery to 23,000.
Lounis' Final Tune
Just now, Korchia got the rest of Lounis' chips in sick fashion. Three players were involved in a preflop raising war, but the monkey in the middle was smart enough to duck out and let Korchia and Lounis go at it once again. With all of the chips in the middle of the table, the cards were on their backs:
Lounis:
Korchia:
The flop was a huge sweat for both men as it came out
. Korchia had found his set, but he'd need to fade the two aces plus the nine remaining hearts in the deck to win the pot. The turn was a safe 
, though, and the 
on the river sealed the deal. The dealer counted down both stacks and gave the unfortunate news to Lounis: "Covered."The frustrated young man made his way slowly to the rail as his day is already over.
Barebbi Battering His Table
. Alain Roy and Lucien Berrebi checked, and the third player stuck out a bet of 2,600. The fourth player in the hand made the call, and Roy did as well. When it came back to Berrebi, though, he announced a check-raise to 17,000. That was enough to fold the initial bettor, but Mr. #4 called all in for his last 12,500 chips. Roy folded away too, showing 
as he did. With a player at risk, the cards were turned up:Barrebi:
Opponent:
and a look of utter disgust.The player with the overpair was still drawing to two outs, but not for long. The
hit fourth street, ending all of the drama right there. It's hard to beat quads, and Barrebi has notched another knockout. He's up to about 80,000 right now, and appears to be the big stack in the room.

Oh No! for Arnaud
flop, Cyril Berdah in the small blind position bet out 3,575. It folded around to Arnaud Mattern in the hijack, and he made the call. Interesting.The turn came the
and Berdah bet out 5,000, leaving himself a single 10,000-denomination chip behind. Mattern raised to cover, Berdah called all in, and they flipped their respective holdings.Berdah:

Double up for Berdah.
Almost Over for Verboven
The flop read
and Belkhayate bet out. Verboven thought about it for a moment before moving all in - and found himself insta-called.Verboven:
Belkhayate:
Turn: a glimmer of hope from the
River: followed by a crash back down to earth with the
Belkhayate doubles to over 40,000.
Kabrhel Takes a Haik
The flop brought
and heavy action. After a check, Haik fired out a continuing bet of 3,100. That drew a raise to 8,625 for Kabrhel and sent Haik into the think tank. After a long pause, he moved all in, and Kabrhel instantly called all in to put himself at risk.Showdown
Kabrhel:
Haik:
Kabrhel's set of sevens was way out in front, and he was poised to double up. When the turn and river blanked off with the
and 
, he did just that. He's all the way up to 74,000 and in fine shape as the second break approaches.
