Ramzi is on table 38, one of the tables who didn’t fit in the main room, so it looks a bit like he is playing in a dark pokerclub in the suburbs of France. This doesn’t make any difference for Ramzi as he just 5-betted a player all-in and took the pot home pre-flop and is already up to 150.000.

Ramzi Jelassi - 150.000

Sylvain Lanternier has also started the day excellent, and is now up to 74.500.

Sylvain Lanternier - 74.500

Stephan Kjerstad has got about the same as he started with, 56.000.

Stephan Kjerstad - 55.000

Toni Ojala had about 20.000 left when the player UTG opened for 2.000, Toni called with _Ah _Ks, player on the button raised to 6.000. UTG player says bye bye to his hand, and Toni decides to go all-in. He gets called, and this is it, he needs to double up. His opponent tables _Kh _Kc and no Ace in sight on the board and Toni leaves the tournament. Now he is going home to sleep, it has been a tough day for him.

And…. to the good news! Ramzi Jelassi made a miraculous call with _9s _9h on the board _8s _7c _3s _4s _8h. His opponent check raised him all-in for 30.000, and Ramzi made the call and his opponent mucked. 78.000 for Ramzi!

Ramzi Jelassi, 78.000
Sylvain Lanternier, 34.000
Stephan Kjerstad, 62.000

Ramzi raised to 1500, player a few positions after re-raised all-in with about 13.000, and Ramzi had a easy decision with _Ah _Ac. His opponent Had _Kd _Jd, and managed to find a flush draw on the turn, but no luck on the river, and Ramzi took home the pot bringing him up to 45.000.

Toni Ojala, 22.000
Stephan Kjerstad, 63.000 (hit a two pair on the river)
Sylvain Lanternier, 35.000
