Dinner Break

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Players are now on a 90-minute dinner break. The tournament clock says there are 71 players remaining in the field, which means we'll have to lose 26 more before calling it a night.

Cardyn Cut in Half

Nicolas Cardyn held {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and was facing against an unknown player who held {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Cardyn had his opponent covered, but he also had about half his stack in the pot. The {J-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop left Cardyn wanting, as did the {10-Spades} turn. The {7-Spades} river put four spades on the board and improved Cardyn's opponent to a flush. With that, the Frenchman was left with 3,500.

Will Teisseire Be the One?

Antonin Teisseire
Antonin Teisseire

In the history of the World Series of Poker Europe, a Frenchman has never won a bracelet. With that said, Antonin Teisseire is positioning himself to be the first. We're not sure how he did it, but Teisseire is sitting with about twice as many chips as the last time we saw him, meaning he has a very healthy 30,000 and what appears to be the chip lead.

Frankenberger Hanging Around

Action folded around to Andy Frankenberger in the cutoff an he raised to 425. The big blind defended, but ended up check-folding to a bet of 525 on the {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. It was a small pot for Frankenberger, who is seeking to add a win here in Cannes to compliment his two WSOP bracelets.

Lucky Sevens for Schwartz

Michael Schwartz raised to 450 from late position and was called by the player in the small blind. Both players checked the {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and then the small blind check-called a bet of 500 on the {7-Clubs} turn. When the {Q-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, the small blind checked for a third time and Schwartz fired out 1,100.

The small blind thought for a solid minute before tossing in the call, only to muck when Schwartz rolled over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a turned set.
