Stephane Lering -- 28,600

Wow, that was literally seconds for the bok to kick in - he was all-in against Jan Boubli with on a flop just now - in poor shape against Jan's .  The turn and the river didn't make a difference and a huge pot (55k or so) makes its way down the table Mr. Boubli.

LOL

and the tshirt? 

  Sigh, women are only ever after me for one thing.

It is a good shirt though...someone has excellent taste (in 80s movies if nothing else...)

I'll reserve judgement until he's snapped in a 'Heathers' t-shirt.

Meanwhile David Redling is up to around 50k himself after his got all in against the of M. Kagawa.  A low, mainly club board knocked the latter down to just 2,625 while bumping the former up to a table-leading stack.

[Djinn]

Blinds up to 200/400 ante 25.

We have heard that this will be the last level played today, so that's an hour and a half...

H Kakoun is OUT and has inevitably headed towards the "I'm out of the Main Event" cash games.

He did point out (himself, I might add) the slight resemblance he has here to that head-spinning bit in The Exorcist...but I can verify that he is in no way that flexible.

I've dated worse...

Introducing a couple more players you might not already be familiar with:

1) Steve Zolotow, of the awesome facial hair
2) Guillaume Darcourt and Antoine Chuzeville

All the action, and the banter for the matter, seems to be deriving from Table Gourlay, the Leeds man becoming involved in two pots as I pass.

The first, I catch the Geordie betting Pat Bueno off a 2-T-K-8-5 board, later confessing to a bluff. "If I check, I lose, it was my only move. I'm sick of being pushed around."

Then, on the very next hand, he limp called Ramzi Jelassi's pre-flop raise, checks the Flop before taking it down with a 2.5k bet on the Turn.

"I'm folding a good hand here," suggests Ramzi, later hinting at Nines.

"I'll let you see one," teases Gourlay as he encourages a neighbour to flip one over.

A seven is revealed, to which I ask, "Did you have Sevens, Paul?"

"Yes," he replies.

Gourlay now up to around 29/30k.

With the blinds at 200 and 400 with a 25 running ante, Sorel Mizzi raises it up to 2,025 pre-flop and Noel Gaens calls from the small blind.

Flop =

Both players check.

Turn =

Noel bets 2.5k and Sorel flat calls.

River =

Noel bets 2.5k, Sorel raises to 11.1k and Noel folds.

As a result, Noel has taken a minor hit and is down to around 32k.

Double through for Patric Martensson courtesy of Henri Boutboul.  I am going to assume that Henri raised preflop and Patric called in position, for the time being, but you really never know...

Anyway, flop:  - this was where semi-short-stacked Patric raised all-in, and it was called - his on their backs before Henri counted out the 8k or so and called, with .  The turn brought the and the pot was already sliding over towards Martensson... he reacted with the same apparent indifference as usual (pictured here right after doubling through), while Boutboul was clearly a little chagrined but not at the table-banging stage quite yet.

Flop =

Christophe Cabras moves all-in for 17k, Clement Amagat folds, nice pot goes to Cabras.

Cabras = 49,225

Amagat = 19,800
