Calum Grant

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sonny Franco (2,460,000) ended Day 2 of Event #13: €10,000 NLH 6-Max as the overall chip leader ahead of the final table after an action packed four and a half hours of play.

Just 13 players returned to King's Resort, Rozvadov this morning to continue their quest for gold bracelet glory as well as the €207,267 first-place prize.

The day started with hand-for-hand play as just 11 of the remaining players would make the money. Fahredin Mustafov was the first player to fall by the wayside before Johan Guilbert was ousted on the bubble.

Julien Sitbon became the first player to bust in the money and he was shortly followed by Roland Israelashvili. The United States' based player made it six cashes from six events at the 2021 World Series of Poker Europe.

Ivan Bryksin and Julien Martini would exit next. Ahmad Achegsei just missed out on the final table as Sirzat Hissou made a set to defeat his opponent's overpair.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier has the chance to join the three WSOP bracelet club after compatriot Julien Martini pulled off the feat earlier this week. He will need to spin his stack up as he sits fourth in the current chip standing.
