The players are on a short break while the 100 denomination chips are taken out of play.
Benjamin Pollak has had to let a number of hands go during this level, but he is still armed with over 200,000 chips.
Pollak opened to 6,000 from middle position and the action passed around to Artem Metalidi in the small blind. Metalidi three-bet to 13,600 prompting Pollak to ask how many chips Metaldi had behind. Realizing Metalidi was essentially committed to calling any further raises, Pollak folded.
Alain Goldberg is one of the shorter stacks in the field and it appears he is taking measures to turn his fortunes around because he has started moving all-in preflop.
Goldberg moved in twice in consecutive hands and each time picked up the blinds and antes. Surely it is only a matter of time before Goldberg gets called.
Gleb Tremzin has departed after he ran pocket queens into the pocket aces of Alexandre Reard.
He opened from under the gun and then four-bet shoved after Reard three-bet from the button. Snap-call from Reard.

The prize pool information will be posted very soon.
Former World Series of Poker Main Event champion and current Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel is short stacked but he is trying valiantly to claw his way back into contention here in Deauville.
Benjamin Pollak opened to 6,000 from middle position and Duhamel was next to act and he moved all-in for around 45,000. Pollak paused for a few moments before passing his cards back to the dealer.
"I always run up a stack on day twos," said a happy Timothy Reilly to Jason Koon. The boy certainly isn't lying about this day 2. He just busted Imed Ben Mahmoud to take the chip lead with a massive 390,000 chips.
Reilly told us that he opened the cut-off with jacks and called when shoved with pocket sevens from the big blind.
