Blind on blind, Isabelle Mercier (big blind) and a gentleman whose name we were unable to ascertain (small blind) saw a 
flop. The small blind bet out 2,500, Mercier raised to 6,000, and the small blind called.
The small blind check-called Mercier's 10,000 bet on the 
turn and her push for around 17,000 on the 
river. But we never got to see what he was check-calling with, as Mercier turned over 
for two pair and the small blind mucked.
Mercier doubled to around 65,000.

Two of the largest stacks in the room are sat facing each other. Mathew Frankland amassed his stack by eliminating fellow countryman James Mitchell earlier and he was in the chip lead. We say "was" because we believe he has now slipped into second place and our new chip leader is Fabrice Soulier and this is how he took it.
Soulier raised to 3,400 from middle position and Vytautas Milvydas called before Frankland squeezed from the button to 11,300. Soulier called the three-bet and then Milvydas pushed all-in for 47,800 in total. The action was on Frankland and he called before Soulier announced all-in as well. This was a huge shove and one that Frankland didn't even give one second of thought to before folding.
Soulier: 
Milvydas:
Board: 
No help to Milvydas and Soulier sails into the lead

We reported earlier that Fabrice Soulier took the chip lead from Mathew Franklan, well the Brit has slid further down the leaderboard after suffering another critical blow.
We caught the action on a board of 
and the Dealer had just placed the turn onto the felt. Franklan bet 15,800 and Anthony Hnatow called. The river was the and Franklan asked Hnatow how much he was playing and Hnatow politely showed him and it was 121,500. Franklan then announced that he was all-in before a quiet fell over the table. Hnatow eventually mustered up the courage to call and was delighted to see that his read was correct. Franklan was bluffing and Hnatow had made the right call.
Hnatow: 
Franklan: 
Hnatow doubled up to 243,000 and Franklan shrunk down to 253,000.
Bizarre scenes over on Praz Bansi's table as Michael Fratty won a huge pot from Julien Muel.
Muel had opened in late position and Fratty defended from the blinds before both checked the 
flop. The turn was the and Fratty checked a second time, with Muel betting 6,000 only for his fellow Frenchman to move all-in for 90,000.
Muel made the call with but Fratty turned over 
which held on the river 
for a 180,000 chip pot.
At this point, Fratty jumped out of his chair and shouted in French, "You want to fight with me?! I will fight with you!!" although Muel looked semi-stunned at this outburst.
As a result, Fratty picked up a one orbit penalty by which point he might have calmed down.
