Pellegrino and Margolin With Double Stacks
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Andre Jeambrun has been eliminated and wanted to keep the cards he busted with while he chatted in French with Isabelle Pellegrino. Both had clashed in a previous hand in which Pellegrino said she had quads eights, and shown a lot of premium hands thus far according to Timur Margolin.
Both Margolin and Pellegrino are off to an excellent start with two times the starting stack. Two tables over, Romain Lewis is closing in on the same amount, while PokerStars ambassador Fatima Moreira De Melo has not been running well thus far.

Le Touche Involved in the Action
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
As expected with his mountain of chips, Philippe Le Touche is involved in many hands but doesn't always go out of the way, splashing around and calling the jams of opponents. One such hand just now saw him three-bet to 3,600 and the initial raiser called. Jean-Claude Rouillot then jammed for more than the starting stack and no showdown followed.
"Easy game," Le Touche said and was shown the 
by Rouillot right after.
