Silva Doubles Up Through Le Floch

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Gerard Janssen raised under the gun and got four callers including Silva and Le Floch. The flop was {9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Janssen continued for 15,000 getting calls from Silva and Le Floch. Janssen bet again on the {5-Hearts} turn and was called by Le Floch, with a quick glance at Silva's stack. It was a wise glance as Silva then moved all in for 61,800.

Janssen folded and Le Floch thought about it for a few minutes before calling.

Le Floch: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Silva: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Le Floch needed a spade to bust Silva, but the river was the {7-Hearts} and Le Floch was knocked back to starting stack just before the first scheduled break of the day

Some More Eliminations in Level 15

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Taylor Up Over Average; Dirig Eliminated

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We saw Gael Dirig leaving the tournament floor so we headed over to his table, and spoke with Guy Taylor. Taylor didn't eliminate him, just crippled him in the previous level.

Dirig called from the small blind and Taylor raised to 6,500 from the big blind. Both players then saw {J-}{8-}{4-} and Dirig check-called a bet of 5,000 on the flop, and then 10,000 on the turn of {2-}.

On the river Dirig checked a third time and Taylor moved all in for his remaining 30,000 chips and Dirig called it off with {8-}{7-}. Unluckily for him,Taylor held {A-}{J-} moving him up over the average chip mark for the tournament

Sow Wins Another

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Kalidou Sow had a great day 1a and he's keeping up the pressure on day 2, with his stack topping 200,000 midway through the third level of the day.

He called a pre-flop raise and then called two streets on {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} before checking behind on the {Q-Clubs} river. His opponent showed {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} but Sow was best with {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Sofian Benaissa
Sofian Benaissa

Sofian Benaissa, Day 1a chipleader is rapidly increasing his chip count. IN this hand he called a bet from his opponent on a board of {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}, then called another bigger bet of 10,500 on the turn, which was the {10-Hearts}

On the {K-Diamonds} river Benaissa saw his opponent bet for a third street, this time 15,500 but Benaissa quickly put together a raise of 31,500 forcing his opponent out of the pot. The Frenchman has a real style to him when it comes to pushing players around in pots and this time showed his opponent {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, which was met with a surly nod.

Updated Chip Counts
