Rail Spotting
The lovely Alexia Portal, who was eliminated out of the money yesterday, is here to cheer on Guillaume de la Gorce. She was the only fan on one side of the rail when the final table began. By now, she's been joined by a who's whom of French poker players. Nicolas Levi and Manuel Bevand are sitting next to her at the moment. Tournament Director Matt Savage teased Levi with a bit of a backhanded compliment. "Ladies and gentlemen, Nick Levi!" he announced. "He managed to cash yesterday after being chip leader for most of the tournament!"
Antonin Teisseire was here to support Patrick Muleta but left when he was eliminated.
Chilipoker's ambassador, Liz Lieu, is also in attendance.
