Late-Emerging Table of Doom

This tournament started with a very large field, and although there are several big names left in the running the great majority of the remaining players are relatively unknown on the international circuit. So it is fortunate for us as reporters, and unfortunate for some of the players, that one table has more than its fair share of familiar faces on it right now.

Table 4 currently features Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Praz Bansi, Pierre Neuville and EPT Monte Carlo High Roller runner up Olivier Busquet, as well as young British up-and-comer Mathew Frankland. They may be famous, but they don't really have that many chips between them. Unsurprisingly, we've seen a lot of action at this table.

Pierre Neuville open-shoved for his last 51,000 from the cutoff, but no-one wanted to mess with the Friend Of PokerStars.

A couple hands later and Bansi opened for 15,000 under the gun. He got a call from Henri Layani in the cutoff and ElkY folded his button, but in the small blind Busquet went all in for 59,000 total. Bansi thought about it but folded, and after a while Lavani folded too. This was not the outcome that Busquet had hoped for. He showed {a-Spades} {a-Clubs} .
