Franck Kalfon Scores Double Elimination to Soar into Chip Lead

Paul Testud had 450,000 after the dinner break, and start-of-day chip leader Mikael Guenni had 130,000. The pair had both chipped up since then but have both been sent to the rail by Franck Kalfon.

In a three-way all in the hands were as follows:

Paul Testud:
Mikael Guenni:
Franck Kalfon:

The board ran out giving all players a full house, but Kalfon’s was best and he chipped up to 1.7m chips. The average is currently just over 400,000 and Kalfon is in a strong position for an even deeper run with now 27 players remaining.

Here are the recent eliminations, with the remaining players all guaranteed €3,185 ($3,758)

28th – Pierre Alexandre Delhorbe
29th – Paul Testud
30th – Mikael Guenni
