It's been a funny couple of days for Frenchman Erwann Pecheux. First he called an overbet on a board of 
only to be met by the 
of Pieyre Maggi.
Then, saw a flop of 
with Nicolas Reneric. Both players checked and Pecheux bet roughly half pot on the turn which was the 
. The river was the 
and Pecheux checked. Luckily for him his opponent checked behind, and Pecheux tabled 
. Luckily for Pecheux, Reneric didn't have a club and mucked face up.
So it was a tricky couple of hands for Pecheux, but he's still above average stack which currently sits at around 33,500

It transpires that Anas Tadini, one of the most talkative players in the tournament, is taking English lessons to make him even more talkative. "I'm learning English, because I'm going to Las Vegas. I'm going to win this tournament and go to Las Vegas." Tadini has obviously heard that the winner not only wins a WSOP Circuit gold ring, but a ticket to the 2016 WSOP Circuit Global Championship; an invitation-only tournament with a minimum prize pool of $1,000,000 USD.
Tadini is going the right way about it. He won a pot three-betting against an early position opener, and then took a pot down on the river on a board of 
. "I thought we were going to chop," he said, showing

El Mostafa Ederoua raised from the button and Iker Lanza called in the big blind. The flop came 
and Lanza check-called Ederoua's bet of 700, and then did the same on the 
turn. The river was the 
and Lanza checked. Ederoua checked behind quickly, perhaps scared of the flush getting there, but Lanza merely had

During the early stages of tournaments you tend to follow the tables with the big piles of chips in the middle, or where the dealers are calling the tournament staff over.
"Time on Table 13", so off we wandered to see what was going on. The board was 
and Mathieu Selides had put his opponent all-in. The minute of time wasn't needed as his opponent eventually folded. Selides checked his cards, as if deciding which one to show, and decided to be nice(?) and show the
