These Tournaments are Tough
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
After a raise to 2,200, Rebecca Gerin grabbed some chips and wanted to three-bet to 5,800 without noticing that it was a 500-chip and not 5,000. Instead, it was ruled as a call as she had put in less than the original raise and Miroslav Alilovic also called out of the big blind.
On a flop of 
, the initial preflop aggressor had bet 2,000 and folded to the 5,500-raise of Gerin, so did Alilovic. A few minutes ago the Frenchwoman had sighed "these tournaments are tough" when falling below starting stack.

Chip Leader No More
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Brian Benhamou has increased his stack to 145,000 and is the new chip leader, as Alexandre de Zutter tank-folded to a river shove of Rakesh Lalwani. The board was reading 
and Lalwani pushed for 42,000 into a pot of 30,000. de Zutter needed some time and the table chat didn't help either, making him fold eventually.
Lalwani flipped over pocket aces and de Zutter then remarked 30 seconds later to have had 
for top pair.

Darcourt Gets into the Groove
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Arnauld Peyroles opened to 2,500 and faced the three-bet of Guillaume Darcourt to 6,000. Peyroles gave it some thought before mucking the cards and one could understand "he is not that crazy" from the Frenchman, referring to his opponent. This may be up for debate.
Miroslav Alilovic on the same table has also silently amassed chips and is not far behind Darcourt.

Not Much Happening
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
In the past 20 minutes, no player has been running out of chips and the screens are frozen at 81 participants remaining. The tables itself didn't provide much entertainment either, which has to be due to the lack of entertainers such as Matas Cimbolas and Anas Tadini.
The Power of Chips
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Alexandre de Zutter had been boasting a massive stack already and apparently knows how to use it. He flat-called a raise to 2,000 from the button and then bet the 
flop for 3,800 after the action was checked to him.
That enforced a fold and the next hand the Frenchman opened to 2,200. An opponent from one seat over called and the heads-up flop of 
was checked by both players. On the 
turn, de Zutter bet 4,200 and that shut down all further action.
