Anthony Roux has left fellow countryman Bruno Fitoussi to fly the French flag, Roux's last waltz coming against former pace-setter Cory Albertson.
Our field reporter joined the action on the flop with Roux moving in for his final 28,000 with . With the pot already brimming with circa 120,000 in chips, Albertson felt obliged to call with .

Scotty Nguyen has taken a bit of a hit courtesy of monstrous stack Alon Shahar.
Keven Stammen raised to 8,000 from the button, only for Shahar to make it 28,000 from the small blind. Big blind Nguyen made it an enormous 58,000 and Stammen got out of the way, but Shahar called.
The flop came down and Shahar bet out 60,000. Nguyen passed.
Shannon out, shorr-ly not?

On an board, Dario Minieri moved all in on the river for an extra 78,500. Michael Skomac made the call, but quickly mucked upon being shown for the rivered straight.
Terry Boyd is up to 200,000. Most recently he made giganto-stack Brendan Keenan fold a hand, raking in a chunky pot for himself.
Keenan had raised to 7,500 from the button preflop and Boyd had called from the small blind. He checked to Keenan on the flop, and Keenan bet 10,000 -- but folded when Boyd raised to 2,000.
