Albertini Shaken, Not Stirred

Our interest was thoroughly pricked when an unknown player opened for 900, only for Ludovic Albertini to make it 4,000 from the cutoff, only for Florent Marques to make it 14,000 from the big blind. Mr. Unknown passed but Albertini made the call and they saw a {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Spades} flop.

Marques promptly shoved for his last 15,000, and after the briefest of dwells, Albertini passed.

Big Stack Watch

Where are all the chips?

These guys have them!

Regis Burlot - 100,000
Julien Riou - 97,000
Herve Lucien Gottrand - 90,000
Jamel Maistriaux - 105,000
Khier Rezaik - 95,000
Ruben Roger Smadja - 90,000

Levesque Leaving Now

Eric Levesque could not recover from that earlier crippling at the hands of Mostafa Belkhayate, and indeed it would be Belkhayate who finished him off.

Levesque moved in on a {7-Clubs} {10-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop, and Belkhayate made the call, Levesque muttering, "I have nothing," all the while.

Belkhayate: a very excellent {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Levesque: nothing indeed, in the shape of {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs}

Turn: {3-Clubs} and end of story

River: an irrelevant {4-Hearts}

Time(x) for a Shove

As the clock counted down to dinner break, Mike "Timex" McDonald mixed it up in a big hand with Herve Gottrand. Gottrand raised to 1,100 from early position, and McDonald thought a moment before deciding to flat.

Flop: {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs}

Gottrand bet 2,000, and McDonald called.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

Another 2,000 bet and another stone-faced call.

River: {10-Clubs}

This time, Gottrand bet 5,000. Timex carefully counted out the 20,225 remaining in front of him, then neatly slid the whole stack into the middle. Gottrand tried to concentrate on the big decision before him while the two players on either side of him chattered loudly about their favorite French night clubs. Eventually, Gottrand shrugged and gave it up, allowing McDonald to survive until after the break. He'll return from dinner to around 36,000.

Dinner Bell

We've got six levels under our collective belts, and the players have retired for a one-hour dinner break. We'll be back just after 8:00pm local time.

Level: 7

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 50

Qu-ing Up

Andrei Vlasenko limped in, but Thomas Neville made it 2,100 to go. Over to Eric Qu on the cutoff - who made it 5,100. Vlasenko decided he was behind and passed, but Neville made the call and they proceeded to the flop.

Flop: {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs}

Neville checked to Qu, who bet 5,000. Neville peered over to see how many chips Qu had left - but eventually thought better of it and passed.

Score One for Saout

After a tablemate raised to 1,750 under the gun, Antoine Saout squeezed his cards and liked what he saw, making it 4,125 to go. Action folded back to the original raiser, Patrick Masliah, who announced "all in." Saout called before the words had even left his fellow Frenchman's mouth and instantly flipped over his hand: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. Masliah's {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} was in trouble, and the board wasn't a whole lot of help.

Board: {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

Masliah got up to leave, but he seemed to be the only one at the table to think that Saout had him covered. When the stacks were counted down, Masliah was left with more than 15,000. Saout doubled to 38,000, putting him above starting stack for the first time since the second hour of play.
