Soulier Wasn't Lying

MarcC

"We'll get there," said Fabrice Soulier a couple of hours ago when he saw us counting his short stack.

He just played a out hand with Barry Greenstein that he lost to drop to 15,000 in chips. Despite the loss, he spoke words of truth before.

We got to his table after the first draw and Greenstein led for 250 from the big blind. The Frenchman called and drew three while Greenstein drew one. Soulier called a 500 bet and drew two as Greenstein drew one again. When Greenstein fired again Soulier gave up and folded.

ElkY Surrenders to Fellow Frenchman

MarcC

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier has been eliminated by Tristan Clemencon. We only got there after all the drawing and betting was over.

Clemencon opened {2-} {7-} {8-} {6-} {5-} and ElkY mucked, got up and left very quickly.

Todd Brunson

MarcC

Todd Brunson had most of his stack at risk after he bet 1,800 on the second round of betting. His opponent called and both of them drew one and checked the third round of betting . Brunson tabled {3-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and scooped as his opponent mucked.
