Pierre Neuville Joins the Field

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Fresh from the High Roller, Pierre Neuville has joined the field shortly after the dinner break and has already managed to chip his way up to 35,000. The average meanwhile has just gone above double starting stack for the first time

Chappuis Fails to Hold the Baby

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nicolas Chappuis was all in for his tournament life with {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} against his opponent's {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The flop: {2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, neither player had a diamond, everything looking good so far. The turn: {5-Hearts}. One more card...

The river: {8-Spades}

Quel dommage!

Dinner Break Chip Counts

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Players have gone on a one hour dinner break so here are some select chip counts

Busto is...Busto

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

While the French media are busy consoling themselves that another Frenchman has left the tournament, I'm sure there are plenty more to take their place. There are currently 84 players remaining from 144 started, with under ten minutes until the scheduled dinner break at 8.30pm local time

Quads for Kibal

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

"Showdown please" came the cry after Nordine Kibal's opponent called the river bet on a board of {7-Hearts}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Kibal paused for just a moment, peeking at his cards as if trying to decide in what order to show them. He finally decided on showing the {A-Clubs} first, then the {9-Diamonds}. #JustQuadsThings

El Yaacoubi Chipping Up

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

It turns out that the French for "Coin-Flip" is "Une Coin-Flip", and that's exactly what happened for Rachid El Yaacoubi, with his {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} holding against his opponents {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} on a board of {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Chip Counts

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

On our latest circuit of the tournament floor we saw Rakesh Lalwani eliminated. We earlier saw him crippled in a hand against Kalidou Sow and he has failed to find the required double up.

We also saw the towering stack of Belgian Roland van Morckhoven whose chips amount to nearly 135,000.
