Padovani Takes the Lead on the Last Hand

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Day 1b chip leader Ruben Padovani opened from the cutoff, then called after Jose De Andrade three-bet from the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of 282. Padovani checked, De Andrade continued for 75,000, but Padovani check-raised to 183,000. However De Andrade wasn't done yet and he three-bet to 375,000. Padovani called.

Both players checked the 4 turn leading to the 5 river where Padovani led out for 500,000. De Andrade went deep into the tank, but eventually folded what he said was JxJx.

After ten 60-minute levels on Day 2 of the €1,000 French Championship Main Event, the chip lead seemed to belong to Jose De Andrade. However, in a massive pot on the last hand of the night, he lost his advantage to Ruben Padovani, who ended the day as the chip leader with 1,600,000 chips.

Padovani now leads the 47 remaining players out of a field of 553 entrants, which generated a total prize pool of €467,174. After being Day 1b chipleader, he is in the best position before Day 3 ahead of Heni Mokni (1,405,000) and Hugues Girard (1,395,000).

To build his stack, second in chips Heni Mokni played a massive pot earlier in the day against Axel Gold-Dalg, four-betting on the flop. Pierre Basile put Adrien Guyon (240,000) in a tough spot to end the day with 1,390,000, while Sonny Franco seemed to have no difficulty reaching 1,175,000 chips.

After losing the chip lead, Jose De Andrade still holds 1,160,000, slightly more than Axel Bayout (1,115,000) and the last woman standing, Cecile Ticherfatine (1,100,000).

The bubble burst today on Day 2, with Dominique Franchi and Quentin Roussey being eliminated at the same time on two different tables out of the money. Roussey was supposed to cash easily, but he lost almost all his chips to Lucas Segall moments before the hand-for-hand procedure. Despite doubling up twice on the bubble, he ended up sharing the 79th place prize with Franchi. Involved in this bubble burst, Arnaud Mattern (630,000) and Segall (551,000) qualified for Day 3.

Mohamed Mokrani (605,000), Michel Leibgorin (550,000), Frederic Delval (390,000), Alexandre Le Vaillant (330,000) also secured a minimum cash prize of €2,650, but thinking about the €75,000 on top. Finally, Michael Rodrigues (140,000) and Malcolm Franchi (115,000) will have less than 10 big blinds at the restart tomorrow.

Unlike the 47 remaining players, Lorenzo Arduini, Gregory Fournier, Elie Nakache, Florian Ribouchon, PMU Team Pro Jérémy Surinach, Nicolas Dumont, Sami Bechahed, Omar Lakhdari, Antonin Teisseire or the defending champion Leo Truche failed in their attempt to reach the money. Philippe Ktorza (73rd - €2,050), Giuseppe Zarbo (64th - €2,050), Bruno Fitoussi (58th - €2,250), and Erwann Pecheux (51st - €2,450) managed to do so, but not as far as they might have hoped.
