After an exceptionally long day yesterday, the 480 players we began the event with has been whittled down to the final eight who are here today to play for the title, along with a hefty �1,000,000 first prize. It wasn't easy though, as the players had to endure a 16-hour day, finally finishing up just before 8:00am local time. Here's the way the table stacks up at the beginning of the day:
Claudio Renaldi: 749,000
Michael Abecassis: 375,000
Jean Philippe Rohr: 750,000
Philippe Narboni: 1,456,000
Antonin Tesseire: 541,000
Stephane Bazin: 2,387,000
[Removed:133]: 1,102,000
Alain Roy: 2,225,000
Play was scheduled to begin at 4:00pm, but it appears that there will be yet another delay today, as the video crew is still preparing the room for play. The Partouche staff has informed us that they anticipate a 5:30 start time, so join us then for our live updates direct from the tournament floor!
