PTS AT STAKE: NO REPEAT FOR SELBST AT CANNES

SOURCE: PARTOUCHEPOKERTOUR.com

It won't be a repeat performance at Cannes for star poker pro Vanessa Selbst. Selbst took the Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final by storm last November, destroying player after player during final table play and eventually winning the tournament.

That tournament may just had been the breakout win in Selbst's career. Unfortunately, Selbst was eliminated earlier today during Day 2 play at the 2011 edition of the Partouche Grand Final Main Event.

The event has attracted some big names again this year, 577 total runners have put up over 11k in order to rule France in what has become one of the most important tournaments on the poker circuit. The prizepool is set at close to 7M.

Recent IPT Nova Gorica winner (and WSOP bracelet holder) Oleksii Kovalchuk leads the way after second-day play. Kovalchuk holds close to a 2:1 chip lead over second place. Kovalchuk could be putting together quite a month of September should he be able to keep up the pace until Saturday's final table play.

A cool 1 million dollars goes to the winner!
