The feature table is filmed all day every day, and this afternoon's lineup features no fewer than three French players, Paul Testud, Pascal Perrault and Maxime Moczulski.
Heading the pack are Andy Bradshaw and Lee Brooke-Pearce tying for the lead, trailed by earlier chip leader Andrew Pantling. Rising fast in the latter part of yesterday was Atanas Gueorguiev, and the top ten in chips are tightly bunched: it's anyone's guess who'll come out on top. They're guaranteed at least €3,500 at this point, but it's going to be a tough battle for the final table and its accompanying televised glory. The atmosphere is already electric -- expect action to kick off within the hour.
