Dantec Gets a Shove Through

We arrived at table 20 with the board showing and former France Poker Series runner-up, Dominique Franchi, betting 4,100 into a pot of almost 10,000 chips. A short-stacked Romain Le Dantec made it 10,000 total, leaving himself only 9,975 behind. Franchi called but wasn't quite ready to pay off Dantec on the river. After 30 seconds of deliberation, Franchi revealed and slid the face-up cards into the muck. Dantec didn't return the favor and instead raked in the pot.

Meanwhile, the first elimination of the day has happened, as France's Johann Greboval is no longer in his seat. 109 players remain.
