Action folded around to Bourcier de Carbon on the button and he put in a raise to 775, which Jean Paul Pasqualini called from the big blind. The flop saw Pasqualini lead out for a modest 400, de Carbon call, and the turn.
This time Pasqualini checked, and de Carbon sprung to life with a bet of 1,000. It proved enough to get the job done as Pasqualini gave up on the hand.

Yesterday John Monnette had a short and not-so-sweet day after busting in the first level. Monnette, who won a bracelet this summer and is contending for Player of the Year, opted to fire a second bullet here on Day 2 and it's paying dividends thus far.
In a recent hand, Monnette and a player in the small blind got the money in on a flop with the latter being all in for around 6,500. The small blind held and was in dire straits against the of Monnette. The turn ended any suspense as Monnette improved to a boat, which left the small blind drawing dead, and he was pushed the pot after the meaningless was put out on the river. Monnette is now up to 30,000.

Sarah talks to players in the race for this years player of the year.
We happened upon Table 10 just as the dealer was pushing Bourcier de Carbon a sizable pot. From what we could piece together, there was already quite a bit in the middle when de Carbon bet 3,000 on the river with a board reading and received a call from Gil George. De Carbon tabled for a full house, and George shook his head before sending his cards to the muck.
