According to PokerStars, singer, actor and World Series of Poker bracelet winner Patrick Bruel made the final six of the latest €5,000 No-Limit Hold'em side event here at the Grand Final. Bruel is one of France’s biggest stars and has sold millions of records as well as starring in films and performing sell-out tours all over the world.
For those who may not know, the 54-year-old is an accomplished poker player, ranked #23 in France and has made more than $1.3 million in live tournament winnings. Last month he took down the World Poker Tour LA Poker Classic for a lifetime best cash of $332,190. He also won a WSOP $5,000 event in 1998 for $224,000 and made the final table of the EPT4 Barcelona, cashing for €104,500.
With a €200,900 first prize at stake, Bruel is up against stiff competition. The current chip leader is Full Tilt Poker Ambassador Dermot Blain with 745,000, followed by Greek player Georgios Karakousis, who finished runner-up at EPT London in October for £349,200. The tournament, which attracted 187 entries and created a prize pool of €906,950, will return today to play down to a winner.
Here's a look at the final six:

| 1 | Dermot Blain | Ireland | 745,000 |
| 2 | Georgios Karakousis | Greece | 766,000 |

Nastasi fired again, this time 127,000, and Banwari stared him down for about two minutes before moving all in for 323,000. Nastasi snap-called.
Banwari: 
Nastasi: 
Banwari had the best hand on the flop, but Nastasi took the lead on the turn. The

Vladimir Troyanovskiy sat atop the chip counts with 123 players remaining at the end of Day 2, but he was only able to ride that stack to a 37th-place finish.
In a recent hand, Troyanovskiy opened for 21,000 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 50,000 from Jack Salter, who has been on a heater here on Day 4. The blinds both folded and Troyanovskiy clicked it back for 120,000. Salter moved all in for 376,000 total and Troyanovskiy made the call.
Salter: 
Troyanovskiy: 
Salter had the goods, but Troyanovskiy picked up a sweat when the flop came down 
. Much to Salter's relief, neither the 
turn nor 
river proved harmful, and he doubled up yet again.
Troyanovskiy appeared to be streaming after the loss, and it was no surprise to see him get his last 100,000 or so all in the next hand on a flop of 
. This time he was squaring off against Dani Stern.
Troyanovskiy: 
Stern:
Stern was ahead with aces, but Troyanovskiy was drawing to a diamond flush. The 
turn paired the board, and the 
actually did it again. Stern made a full house while Troyanovskiy suddenly found himself out of the tournament.
"Good luck, guys," he mustered before bowing out in 37th place.

. Pertsinidis thought briefly before moving all in and Vogelsang quickly called.
Vogelsang: 
Pertsinidis:
The turn and 
river changed nothing and the Germand doubled up.

Action folded to a short-stacked Bryan Paris in the hijack and he moved all in for his last 129,000. Antonio Buonanno called from the cutoff, and after the rest of the players folded, the cards were turned up.
Paris: 
Buonanno:
Paris was in a bad way as he held the inferior kicker, but he was optimistic.
"I got the lucky nine," he said. It may have been lucky for him at another point in the tournament, but not this one as the board ran out a dry . Paris becomes the 39th-place finisher.

It's been a good start of the day for Jack Salter, who has been the beneficiary of two early doubles.
In the latest, Salter got his stack of 175,000 or so all in preflop with the 
and was well out in front of Dani Stern's 
. The 
flop gave Salter a hammerlock on the hand with middle set, though the was pause for concern as Stern picked up a straight draw.
Fortunately for Salter, it didn't come in as the 
blanked on the river.
