Brosnhstein's Tens No Good

Yuval Bronshtein raised to 150 under the gun and picked up callers on the button and big blind. The {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop saw the big blind check, Bronshtein bet 300, and only the button make the call.

When the dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}, the button called a bet of 550 from Bronshtein before calling a bet of 500 on the {7-Hearts} river. Bronshtein rolled over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, but it was no good as the button revealed {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

Van Brabander Busted

We're not sure how it happened, but we can confirm that Charlotte Van Brabander has been eliminated from the tournament. We can also tell you that Vanessa Selbst, who was seated at the same table, has lost about half her stack and is down to 1,300.

Monnette vs. Duplantier

We paid a quick visit to the side room, which houses four of today's table, and saw Margaux Duplantier limp from the hijack. John Monnette, who is already doing better than yesterday when he busted in Level 1, then raised to 200 from the button. The blinds got out of the way, Duplantier called, and the the flop fell {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. The Frenchwoman checked and then snap-folded when Monnette bet another 200.

It was a small pot, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on both their chip counts.

Wade Prevails in Blind-Versus-Blind Battle

Action folded around to Tristan Wade, who won a bracelet in the €3,200 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout event last year right here in Cannes, and he limped from the small blind. The player in the big opted to exercise his option with a raise to 150, Wade called, and the flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Wade check-called a bet of 175, and then did the same for 325 on the {7-Clubs} turn. Both players then checked the {A-Clubs} river and Wade tabled {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}, which was good enough to win the pot.
