Phil Hellmuth raised pre flop to 1,500 getting calls from Kenney, Pollak and Radoja. Kenny was the one in position on the button while Pollak and Radoja were in the blinds.
The flop was 
and without flinching all four players checked. On the turn the 
appeared and Pollak lead out for 2,950. Radoja thought about it for half a minute and then called leaving himself with only 10,000 chips remaining. Hellmuth and Kenny folded so we got to see the river card.
The river was the 
and Pollak tanked for a good minute before checking to Radoja. The 2011 WSOP bracelet winner threw out a small 2,500 bet and Pollak snap-called. Radoja showed 
and raked in the pot.

The top three chip stacks (Flavien Guenan, Benjamin Pollak and Casey Kastle) are all playing cards on the same table so there should be some interesting spots throughout the day and here is one such spot.
Pollak raised from the hijack, Alexander Salabaschew called in the cut-off and Flavien Guenan squeezed out a three-bet from the button making it 4,400 to play. Casey Kastle was seated in the small blind and he tanked for a few minutes before folding, as did the big blind, and Pollak and Slabaschew both called.
Flop: 
The action checked to the pre-flop squeezer and Guenan made it 6,600 to play. Pollak folded but Salabaschew moved all-in for 17,000 and Guenan reluctantly made the call.

Neither the turn nor the river helped Guenan and Salabschew doubled up.

We just missed the betting action but after a raising war Tyler Kenney and Dennis Bejedal got their chips in the middle pre flop. Kenney later explained that Bejedal had openend to 1,300, Kenney three-bet from the small blind to 3,000 and later called the shove.

Bejedal didn't get a good sweat for his money when the board ran out 
. Kenney is doing very well early on day two and soon after this hand his table broke.

Antonio Venneri and Matan Krakow were involved in a pot and we were at the turn. The board was showing 
and Krakow bet 600. Venneri moved all-in and Krakow made the call and was in terrible shape.

River: 
Krakow survived and Venneri was left to wander around the poker room cursing in Italian.

Two all-ins to report for you. The first resulted in a double up when the of Romain Gravisse found some respite on the board while up against the 
of Stephen Williams.
The second all-in occurred between Anton Wigg and Sonia Dumas. Wigg made a standard button raise before Dumas defended the big blind. The flop was 
and Dumas moved all-in for 17,000. Wigg laughed aloud before folding 
"What a nit! You had a backdaw flush draw," said one of his opponents.

You could sense that Nick Binger was not having a good start to the day. Every time we passed his table it seemed as though his opponents were three-betting him with impunity. Then disaster struck the WSOP Bracelet Holder.
Binger raised to 1,350 on the button and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 3,850 in the small blind. Nick Binger moved all-in and had Negreanu covered but he made the call.

When we approached table 79 the dealer was busy counting out a whole bunch of chips. Erich Kollmann was sitting in the cutoff while Cardyn, who didn't seem to happy with the delay, was anxiously waiting for the showdown from the button. After the dealer figured out Cardyn was the all-in player with 10,825 chips we saw the following showdown.
| Nicolas Cardyn |  |
| Erich Kollmann | |
The board ran out 
and with that we say goodbye to Cardyn. Kollmann still has some work to do but with this stack he has more breathing room. Kollmann has to be happy with his position at the table because Martins Adeniya and Peter Jetten are seated directly to his right. The field in Cannes is very tough and we don't expect to see any easy table once we get closer to the money.
