.
With the win, Debabeche is up to about 140,000.
Rebecca Mordoff-Gerin opened with a raise to 2,300 from under the gun, and it folded around to Anais Lerouge who called from the small blind. The big blind got out, and the flop came 
. Lerouge checked, Mordoff-Gerin bet 2,500, and Lerouge called. The turn was the

The river brought the 
, and once again both checked. Mordoff-Gerin showed

"So sick," he muttered. He played with his chips a bit before giving up his hand, slipping to 15,000 in the process.

and found herself up against Santiago Terrazas' . The board came

On the last hand before dinner, Bodo Sbrzesny opened to 1,000. Rebecca Mordoff-Gerin raised on the button to 3,200, and the big blind four-bet to 7,600. Sbrzensy took his time deciding to five-bet to 16,000. Mordoff-Gerin got rid of her cards as fast as possible. Then the big blind six-bet shoved. "Uhoh," Sbrzesny said as soon as those tell-tale chips crossed the line. But he called anyway, risking is last 18,000 and his tournament life. As expected, the big blind tabled 
. Sbrzesny needed big help with his .
The board ran out 
, not much of a sweat. Sbrzensy shook hands with his eliminator and was the first one out the door on the way to dinner.
In the final hand before the break, Bertrand Grospellier opened for 900 from early position, Thomas Bichon called behind, and Karine Nogueira called as well from the big blind.
The flop came 
. Nogueira checked, Grospellier bet 1,825, Bichon folded, and Nogueira called. The turn brought the 
and a couple of checks from both players.

. Nogueira checked, and Grospellier pushed out a bet of 4,400. Nogueira gathered chips to call, then with wince let her hand go.

David Benyamine came late today, and after about an hour-and-a-half of play, the Parisian had seen his stack slip down to around the 20,000-chip mark. Then came a key hand for him in which he opened with a raise to 1,100 from the button, then the big blind reraised to 3,000. Benyamine instantly shoved all in, and his opponent just as quickly made the call.
Benyamine turned over 
and his opponent 
. The community cards came 
, and Benyamine was suddenly left with a short stack.
He would be eliminated shortly thereafter, leaving early after arriving late.
