Moving north to France, Day 3 is scheduled to get underway at the WPT Amneville. The original field of 542 has been whittled down to a mere 48 players, with France’s Nesrin Kourdourli the current chip leader at 957k, followed by Tyler Cornel at 769k and Ilan Boujenah with 743k. The action is scheduled to conclude on Saturday, and while the rest of the world may not turn away from the Rio to observe the finale, the lucky player walking away with the €426k first place prize probably won’t be too offended.
