French TV presenter Cecile De Menibus is struggling with a short stack but just managed to double up with against Bastien Lebel's on a board. The on the turn added a huge number of extra outs and the was enough to double her up to (a still paltry) 2,000 chips.
Ludovic Lacay is doing much better however, he fired successive bets of 700 and 1,500 on an board, the latter being enough to push Konstantinos Nanos out of the pot.
Ireland's Jason Tompkins has just shown Valentin Messina he is not to be messed with by firing on all three streets against him.
Messina opened with a raise to 525 in middle position and then called when Tompkins, to his direct left, three-bet to what looked like 1,150. We didn't get chance to get an official count as Messina called quickly and the dealer swept the chips into one large pot.
The flop came down and Messina check-called a 1,150 bet from Tompkins. The turn saw similar action, except Tompkins increased his bet size to 2,725. The river was the and Messina checked once more, but when Tompkins kept up his story and bet 5,650, Messina folded ans Tompkins won a decent pot.

Holding a scarf over his mouth, Soulier tapped the table to check, and when Sperling bet 2,850, Soulier let the scarf drop and his hand go.
