flop with Margets leading out for a bet of 3,200 on the 
turn which Cometto calls. Margets checked when the 
completed the board on the river. Cometto goes all in, and Margets calls off the rest of her stack of around 12,000 chips.

Guillaume Darcourt
Niveau 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
France's Guillaume Darcourt is near the top of the field with 75,000 chips. Darcourt dominating a field isn't anything new as he has almost $1.4 million in live tournament cashes placing him in 30th place according to The Hendon Mob. Darcourt also has been known to dominate online poker. According to PocketFives, the French player was once ranked in the top 1,000 online poker tournament players in the world before the French online market became segregated.
On a separate note, some of the members of the media covering the tournament are secretly (or maybe not so secretly anymore) rooting for Guillaume Darcourt as he is the husband of the official photographer covering the tournament Caroline Darcourt.
