Le Touche on Top
Niveau 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
Philippe Le Touche played on day 1a without success, but his second attempt is off to a skyrocket start as the Frenchman has moved up to nearly six times the starting stack. Le Touche is not in his seat right now a few minutes in the new level, but then again he won't be running out of chips anytime soon.

Sargsyan No More
Niveau 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
In a multi-way pot, Aram Sargsyan had been all in on an earlier street and on the 
, only Sorin Sufragiu was left over after his bet went through uncalled.
"All cards please," the dealer demanded and Sargsyan tabled 
for a missed straight and king-high. Even if had improved, it would have been for nought, as Sufragiu had the nuts in 
to score the knockout.

Teh Wins a Healthy Pot
Niveau 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
With three-way action to the 
river and a pot of 13,000 in play, Natalie Teh made it 7,000 to go out of the big blind. One of her opponents called, the other folded, and Teh rolled over for flopped two pair.
That was enough to win the pot and Teh jumped well above the starting stack.

Small Pot for Barbisan
Niveau 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
A raise to 600 was called by Fulvio Barbisan and Pierre Calamusa three-bet to 2,200 from one seat over. The initial raiser called, as did Barbisan, and they headed to the 
flop. Once the action was on Barbisan, he made it 5,100 to go and that won the pot.
The same table also features Paul-Francois Tedeschi and Imad Derwiche, the latter is almost at home as he typically runs well in Monte-Carlo and already won two Pot-Limit Omaha events in previous years at this very venue.
