All players have been sent into a 20-minute break and one familiar face on the poker circuit that showed up just prior to the end of the level was Antonin Teisseire. The Frenchman and World Series of Poker bracelet winner from 2011 has sat down just two tables away from our media desk.

Suddenly the screens showed 181 out of 182 players left and the first casualty of the day happened at one of the corner tables next to the feature table. A quick glance over the stacks showed Kanstantsin Kamenka with almost double the starting stack and the few details we could gather revealed that the Belorussian benefited from a flush over flush setup with the ace-high flush.
On a four-way flop of ![]()
![]()
, Fabian Stache faced three opponents and decided to bet 1,350. The dealer announced the bet in English and the French player in seat three complained about this before receiving the info in his native language. He called and the other two players mucked.
Stache bet the
turn for 1,675 and immediately announced the amount in French with a smile in the face, receiving a snap-call. Then, the dealer burned and turned the
river and Stache checked behind with a king to see his opponent shake his head and flashing the ![]()
for a flush, seemingly unhappy to not have gotten any chips on the river anymore.
Mateusz Moolhuizen is up to 40,000 chips and the biggest pot came off a hand that saw the Dutchman raise from under the gun and the opponent in the big blind called. According to Moolhuizen, the flop fell ![]()

There haven't been many big pots yet and the middle-sized ones typically ended with a bet and fold on the river. In fact the very same applied to the situation just now as well, only the pot-size stood out by far to bump Steffen Kylevik above twice the starting stack.
Kylevik had raised to 525 and called the three-bet of Gael Dirig from one seat over to 1,500. The Norwegian check-raised the ![]()
![]()
flop from 2,000 to 5,000 and was called before leading the
on the turn for 8,000. Dirig called and had about 15,000 behind to see the Norwegian jam the
river.
Dirig let out a huge sigh and mucked the cards.
Gregory Luttke opened to 550 and was called by Julien Sitbon from two seats over as well as Mats Jungsand in the big blind to set up a three-way flop of ![]()
![]()
. The action was checked through and only Jungsand check-called a bet of 1,075 on the
turn before the Frenchman's bet on the
river won the pot without showdown.
Luttke still turned over the ![]()
even though he didn't have to and moved back to just under starting stack, Pierre Menes has the biggest stack on that table with around 35,000.

Stache's steal attempt with ![]()
was caught but the Belgian is still up early on.
