We decided it was high time to check in on how the big stacks from the start of the day are doing. Laurent Decauwert is up over a million chips, just like Davidi Kitai. Meanwhile, Sonny Franco and Victor Michaud are holding steady.
The likes of Liam O'Donoghue and Romani Carlot are down on their start of day chip counts, but are still sitting on solid stacks as we approach the money bubble
We said at the beginning of the day that Bruno Lopes and other players with large stacks would have to be on the lookout for Winamax Pro Davidi Kitai, who came into the day with a healthy stack.
Well his stack is even healthier now after eliminating a player.
A player opened and a short stack at the table moved all in for 60,000. Davidi Kitai then moved all in for 700,000. The initial raiser, whose stack was around 200,000 decided to call for his tournament life.
Kitai held while both of his opponents showed . The flop came all spades and Kitai held on to scoop the pot and eliminating two players.
The tournament clock has just ticked into Level 16 and the clock reads 177 players left. That means that we lost an astonishing 54 players in the first level. They included Gaelle Baumann and Nicholas Bastard, as well as Patrick Clarke and Sebastien Coq.

Charbonnier then five-bet to 158,000 and Decramer moved all in. Charbonnier folded and Decramer showed .
