Peter Jetten opened things up with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun. Dominik Nitsche called in the cutoff, Philipp Gruissem called on the button, Salman Behbehani called in the small blind, and "Mad" Marvin Rettenmaier moved all in for 11,400 from the big blind. Jetten re-raised to 20,000, Nitsche moved all in for 54,700, and the action folded back to Jetten, who called.

Showdown
Jetten: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Nitsche: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Rettenmaier: {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, eliminating Rettenmaier from the tournament.

Dan Smith open-jammed for his last 9,600 from middle position. The action folded to the player in the big blind, who laughed and folded {9-}{6-} face up.

The very next hand, Smith open-jammed again, and the action folded to Juha Helppi who instantly called out of the big blind. Helppi's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} crushed Smith's {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and held as the board came {4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Coranson Eliminated, Forced to Show Losing Hand

Fred Coranson was faced with a 14,400-chip bet from Jean-Philippe Rohr with the board reading {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Coranson called, and the {7-Clubs} completed the board.

Rohr announced "all in" in French, sending Coranson into the tank. Coranson eventually called, and Rohr tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for top-top. Coranson, who was eliminated, was then forced to show his hand ({k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}) before exiting the room.

Rohr is now above 100,000 chips.

Lellouche Flops Nuts, Busts Seiver

Scott Seiver (Day 1b) - Eliminated
Scott Seiver (Day 1b) - Eliminated

Scott Seiver was faced with a preflop raise to 2,000. He called near the button, Lellouche called in the blinds, and the flop fell {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The action checked to the original raiser, who slid out a continuation bet of 2,700, and Seiver moved all in for around 20,000. Lellouche flat-called, the original raiser released, and the hands were opened.

Showdown
Seiver: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Lellouche: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Seiver didn't fill up on the turn ({2-Spades}) or the river ({3-Spades}), and he was eliminated.

Lellouche is now our overwhelming chip leader, and is flirting with 300,000 chips.
