Vincendeau Spotted in the Field

Will Shillibier

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Last year Matthieu Vincendeau used his aggression and passion to top the chip counts at the end of Day 2. Earlier today he fired an unsuccessful bullet, and the whole room heard his shouts as he was eliminated, but he's back in the field for another go.

Also in the field is Winamax tournament regularly Moundir Zoughari.

Van Wesemael's Winning Irks Tablemates

Level 8 : 350/700, 700 ante

We've previously mentioned in our coverage that several players come to the Winamax Poker Open Dublin from all around Europe to sample the atmosphere. As a result, it might come as a surprise that not everyone in the Main Event is French.

"I'm not sure if the people at my table like me anymore," said Sander van Wesemael with a grin. The Dutchman sits on around 65,000 in chips.

"I was just winning every pot. Then I lost a big one and it was alright, and then I started winning again. So it's mostly because I'm winning."

Van Wesemael has never cashed a Winamax event and as he folded his next hand some players started talking again.

"It's ok though," he said. "Sometimes I get the dealer to translate for me!"
