On one particular nine-handed table, there are a total of four French players. But any fears of 'la collusion!' and soft play are soon thrown out the window as Stéphane Reusse reraises Nicolas Levi's opening raise of 1,350 to 3,000, thus forcing his fellow countryman into making the fold. Yep, it's every man for himself here, and the 'there are no friends at the poker table' policy has been swiftly adopted.
Nicolas Lepoetre -- 13,000
Stéphane Reusse -- 15,000
Nicolas Levi -- 28,500
Sylvain Perrin -- 16,000
