Tristan Clemenson has just moved past the 50,000 mark in chips after eliminating an opponent from the tournament with pocket aces; his opponent had tabled pocket jacks and was unable to improve, giving the pot -- worth about 45,000 in chips -- to Clemenson.

The elimination sheds a bit of light on a phenomenon that we've seen occur quite often throughout the day. After a player is eliminated from the event, the other players at the table offer a round of applause to their fallen companion. The sportsmanship amongst players here in Cannes appears to be much more prominent than at most other stops on the tournament circuit.
