After she was eliminated from Day 1c, Cecile Ticherfatine is now in Day 1d.
She just found herself in a blind versus blind situation, betting 1,000 on a flop of A♠J♣5♦. The big blind checked, then both players checked the 3♣ turn.
The 6♠ came on the river but brought no more action as both players checked again. "I have the three" Ticherfatine said while revealing 7♥3♥. Her opponent quickly sent his cards into the muck.

After Fouad Toujani opened from the hijack and was called by Thierry Giron on the button, Grégory Janin shoved for 2,900 from the small blind and he was called twice.
His two opponents checked all the way through a board of 9♣7♠6♥4♦10♠, so all cards went on their backs.
Grégory Janin: A♥2♦
Fouad Toujani: A♠3♠
Thierry Giron: K♠Q♠
Janin stood up, and sat down when he discovered that he split the pot with Toujani with ace-high.

In the 831st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Nikki Limo, who is filling in for Mike Holtz, at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about her time as the Loose Cannon on the PokerStars Big Game. The first two episodes recently dropped featuring Limo squaring off against Phil Hellmuth, Alex Keating, Arden Cho, Lex Veldhuis, and Jennifer Tilly.
Limo discusses how she got cast for the show, what happened when she played "Two Truths and a Bluff," and then Kyna & Chad surprise her by offering up some bluffs of their own. Limo also delves into a big hand that she played against the "Poker Brat" that went poker viral.
The crew then talked about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) being less than a week away, and take a look at some of the "Best Without a Bracelet" including Maria Ho, Seth Davies, and Bin Weng, just to name a few. Plus, will Phil Ivey be at the 2024 WSOP? Find out what the hosts think in this episode.
From there, they take a look at Jessica Vierling winning the WSOP Commerce $1,700 Main Event for $328,273, plus all the big winners from the Triton Montenegro including Mike Watson, Igor Yaroshevskyy, Adrian Mateos, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, who all won seven-figure scores!
Finally, Kyna and Nikki play a game of #PokerThrift in which they have to guess whether or not Chad bought some random poker items he found in secondhand stores in Las Vegas. Oh, and there's a preview of Raminder Singh's appearance on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker show hosted by Connor Richards.
