We're two levels deep in this Day 2, four to go. We've reached another 20-minute break.
Nicolas Fierro has a look of a man who knows he has just screwed up.
It all started when the action folded to Fierro in the small blind and he raised to 1,900. Chris McClung was watching avidly from the big blind and he three-bet to 4,800. Back to Fierro and he made the call and the two of them shared a flop of 
. Fierro checked to McClung and he bet 5,500 and Fierro made a pretty quick call. The turn was the 
and Fierro once again checked. McClung bet 10,700 and Fierro fiddled with his chips for a few minutes before he announced he was all-in and McClung called instantly.
Showdown
| McClung |   |
| Fierro |   |
Fierro looked as if he wanted the ground to swallow him up.
The river was irrelevant and the look on Fierro's face said it all, "Why oh why oh why did I just do that?"
Carlos Mortensen bet 5,300 on the 
board. Eric Haik raised to 13,400 and then Mortensen went into the tank. He tanked for several minutes before finally reraising to 37,200. Haik gave it up and Mortensen won the pot.
Erik Seidel check-called a bet of 2,000 from Ilan Boujenah on the 
flop. The turn was the 
to pair the board and both players checked. The river was the 
and Seidel led for Boujenah. Boujenah mucked his hand and Seidel picked up the pot.
Our chip leader Rifat Palevic continues to increase his chip stack and therefore his chip lead. Even more impressive is the company that Palevic is doing this in.
| Seat | Name | Chipcount |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jake Cody | 69,000 |
| 5 | Yevgeniy Timoshenko | 77,000 |
| 7 | Sam Holden | 158,000 |
| 8 | Johnny "F****ng" Chan | 65,000 |
Mohamed El Hamdi raised to 1,600 in mid-position and our chip leader, Rifat Palevic, called in the small blind. The two of them shared a flop of 
and Palevic check-called a 4,500 El Hamdi bet. The turn was the and their was a change in betting lead as Palevic took over and shoved 8,800 into the face of El Hamdi. El Hamdi took off his shades for a closer look at the bet and made the call. The river was the 
and the big stack moved 15,900 into the middle and this was enough to finally scare El Hamdi who folded his hand.
It's Tommy Vedes' birthday today, but unfortunately for him, it's been a rather unhappy one.
Vedes bagged up the second largest stack after yesterday's Day 1b, but things went south in a hurry. Very early in the day, Vedes had his stack cut by about 75%, and we now see that he's conspicuously absent from his tough starting table. He's not hard to spot, and we don't see him anywhere, so we'll presume the birthday boy is busto.
Still, there are plenty of ways to celebrate in Cannes other than playing poker.
