A total of eight French will be starting the sixth day of the Main Event WSOP in Las Vegas. A few hours before the start of the day review our past French chances of victory in the biggest tournament on the planet!
Let’s start with the field, on the 576 players at the start of Day 5, they are more than 205 to claim the prestigious title of world champion.
Among these survivors are still many notables including former racing champion of the WSOP Main Event, Johnny Chan, who monopolizes the Top 10 ranking since the first day.
At his side are found including: Mizrachi brothers (Robert and Mikael), Jean Robert Bellande, Eric Baldwin, Juha Helppi, Jimmy Tran, Brian Jensen, Dragan Gallic, Matthew Johnny Loden Dag Palovic, Jarvis,Matt Harris, Hasan Habib, JP Kelly and Theo Jorgensen.
The current leader is Canadian, it is more Evan Lamprea 3.5 million in chips.
On our eight survivors Pierre Canali is leading the delegation to tricolor Luis Damien, Nicolas Babel Daeninckx Olivier, Gabriel Nassif, Jean Paul Pasqualini and Michael Master.
David Benyamine brings up the rear of the French far below average with 353,000 chips.
If our eight survivors showed a cheerful at the end of the day is a big disappointment, however, that one could read on the faces of 11 French eliminated. Exit therefore Alexandre Luneau, Dunlop Fabien Fabrice Soulier, or Antony Lellouche who will return next year hopes to win the supreme title.
Today all qualified French return with a single idea in mind to do better than their predecessors last year, Ludovic Lacay Francis Balmigère, Fabsoul, David Benyamine and why not Antoine Saut!
Resumption of at the Rio is 12h 21h in France.
