A Brief Delay

The players have returned to their seats, but there is a slight delay while both the T100 green and the T500 black chips are being raced off and colored up. We should be underway in just a minute or two.

20 Players Remaining

Currently, the average chip stack is 480,000.

Hansen Put To a Decision

[user66118]
[user66118]
Prior to the flop, Gus Hansen kicks things off with a raise to 28,000. Action passes to Philippe Narboni, who makes the call, and the two men go heads up to the flop.

It rolls out {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {8-Spades}. Gus studies for several minutes before continuing out with 42,200 chips. Narboni also considers things for a little bit before moving all in for an additional 202,600. Gus appears frustrated, letting out a, "Jesus Christ... what did I do?" as he ponders the situation. He shoots a quick glance over at his opponent, then spends several minutes just staring down at his chips shaking his head. Finally, he knocks the table and lets it go, sending more than 70,000 of his chips to the other side of the felt. After the hand, he is still right around the 1,000,000 mark, while Narboni has climbed up to 300,000 himself.

Tough Luck

[user38449]
Two of the tournament's largest stacks belonging to Robert Mizrachi and Gus Hansen, are currently positioned right next to each other on one of the outer tables.

Gus has approximately 1.3 million in chips while Robert sits with about 890,000.

The Return of Fabrice Nkoa

Fabrice Nkoa
Fabrice Nkoa has just about had as rocky a day as you can have in a poker tournament, having fallen to 40,000 in chips from 660,000 and then climbing back up to 360,000 as recently as our last count. Fabrice loves to play pots, so expect this trend to continue as long as he's got chips in front of him.
