Mickey Doft

We arrived at Lex Veldhuis' table with the board reading {8-Hearts}

.

Luca Cainelli bet 8,500 and Veldhuis popped it to 20,800. Luca Cainelli three-bet to 58,500 and Veldhuis went all in for 71,200 total and Cainelli made the call with {A-Spades}

.

Veldhuis tabled a winning {7-Diamonds}

and the river was a meaningless {2-Hearts}

. Veldhuis moved up to about 155,000, but has dropped to about 135,000 the few hands since.

End of Dender

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We didn't catch the hand, but we arrived just in time to see Tommy Dender getting up from his table and heading for the door.

Our PokerNews powers of deduction lead us to conclude that he is busto.

We strolled by Marine Labernardie's table to witness her raising from the small blind. Janko Medja in the big blind reraised and Labernardie called; there was 18,000 or so in the pot preflop.

They saw a {4-Spades}

flop and Labernardie bet out a very hefty 30,000, her leg jiggling wildly under the table. Medja tanked up for a long time but eventually passed.

This was not the first time the two had battled blind on blind, and Labernardie came out on top last time too. She's up to 170,000.

Hougaard Chipping Up

Jesper Hougaard raised to 3,600 from the hijack and Olivier Delanne moved all in from the big blind for 39,900.

Hougaard took about three minutes, deciding whether to make the call for roughly half of his stack. He opted to do so and tabled {A-Hearts}

, in good shape against Delanne's {A-Spades}

.

The board rolled out {K-Diamonds}

and Hougaard won the hand to move to 115,000.

Breaking News

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Arnaud Mattern has been enjoying a continuous massage since - well, since his emergence on the live poker scene, to be honest.

But now, possibly because it's Day 2, he has two masseuses tending to him, one ministering to his lower back and the other currently busying herself with his right leg.

It must be awful being Arnaud.

Kuder No Good

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tobias Kuder is busto, as evidenced by the sight of him getting up and leaving while Niccolo Caramatti raked in his former chips to put him up to 160,000.

Play Your Brecards Right

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Julien Brecard made a standard raise from the hijack (we missed that bit, but reconstructed the action from the pot size) only for Maxim Lykov to reraise another 5,300 from the button. Back to Brecard, who made it 17,000 on top of his initial raise. Lykov thought about it for a while, but folded.

Current stacks - Brecard 290,000, Lykov 205,000.
