Kevork Bijian is currently in the lead with 87,400 chips. He is followed by Linda Huard, who counts 68,300 chips. Here is the top 5, along with some of heir photos:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Kevork | Bijian | 87,400 |

| Nicolas | Majdalani | 66,700 |
| Ryan | Parsons | 63,500 |

Rodney Ramalho, who was under-the-gun in that hand, check-called a 3.5K bet on the flop, bringing the pot to about 13K. When he checked again on the turn, Linda Huard checked back, and the river saw the same lack of action. Huard’s confidence was withered by the shower of hearts on the run out, which greatly favored Ramalho, who had flopped a seemingly strong top pair.

Yannick Colpron and Igor Firman were involved in pot that brought Colpron to invest all his chips.
On the turn, Firman placed a bet of 2,700 chips. That bet was min-raised by Colpron to 5,400, and the all-in followed. Colpron called instantly, having made his hand on that street.

When the irrelevant river was revealed, the chips were pushed to Colpron, who now has about 24K to his name. Firman was left with about 5K.
