Oliver Chaignard has just doubled through Steven Van Zandelhoff when 
held up against 
on a 
board.
On table 6, Antony Lellouche opened to 5,500 and Arnaud Esquevin made the call. Mickael Guenni then squeezed all-in for around 50,000. Lellouche folded but Esquevin made the call.

Guenni: 
Board: 
Lellouche looked particularly sad, having folded 
but Guenni was a happy recipient of a double up to about 100,000.
A commotion rose up on the turn and players and press crowded round Fabrice Tuil as he made a call for his tournament life. The board stood 
and Iulian Iacob checked to Tuil, who bet 60k. Then Iacob suddenly announced all-in, a very large bet indeed. Call from Tuil and they showed, for the moment only, the same hand, a broadway straight.
Iacob:
Tuil: 
The river brought a loud, "OOOOH" and a flush - .
Tuil up to 500k or so, and Iacob loses his position as a dominant stack for the first time in 2 days.
UK player Stuart Rutter had just enough chips to fourbet all in preflop (over Iulien Iacob who'd re-raised to 18,500 and was now pretty much autocalling the extra 20k or so). He flipped 
vs. Iacob's , and although two hearts came on the flop, no more followed and Stu chops his way up to 48k. The lineup and stacks for that table now:
Seat 1 Iulien Iacob - 345,000
Seat 2 Theo Jorgensen - 420,000
Seat 3 Stuart Rutter - 48,000
Seat 4 Olivier Chaignard - 18,500
Seat 5 Steven van Zadelhoff - 285,000
Seat 6 Fabrice Touil - 240,000
Seat 8 Quinn Sivage - 216,000
We've just lost Almira Skripchenko, Stephane Cohen and Sebastien Orsini.
The last of these was all-in on a flop of 
holding against Nourredine Aittaleb's . The board bricked out with the 
and coming on the turn and river and we're down to 32 players and four tables.
Five players until the money, and then down to 24 and play will finish for the day.
Michel Bouskila has seen his fortunes improve so far today, after a rivered set of Sevens were paid off earlier by Gabriel Nassif in a pot of around 160k. Now on over 230, he just played a pot against Stephane Albertini for stacks too. On a flop of 
Albertini bet 20k and was almost immediately set all in by Bouskila. Albertini’s remaining chips were over the line so fast they left little scorch marks, and he turned over – snap with Bouskila’s 
. No diamond drama, and chop-chop.
The board was reading 
and Michael Kweik fired out a 20,000 river bet only for Arnaud Esquevin to snap his arm off quicker than a hungry crocodile. Kweik was forced to show a double missed draw of wheras Esquevin was sitting pretty with .

With the flop reading 
, David Tavernier had moved all-in over the top of Thomas Nielsen's bet for about 43,000. Nielsen made the call with 
almost flipping against Tavernier's .
The turn was the and suddenly the Dane was now in front but Tavernier picked up a flush draw as well giving him a big chunk of outs. The river was the 
and Nielsen made his flush. 36 players remaining.
