WPT NTL MAURITIUS: KOOL SHEN IN CONTENTION AS 35 PLAYERS REMAIN

SOURCE: POKER52.fr

Day 2 is in the books at the World Poker Tour National Series Mauritius (Ile Maurice) Main Event. We are down to 35 players and will be playing down to final table once play resumes on Saturday.

Although Englishman Daniel Carter is our chip leader, it's a man that is a few chips above average that caught our attention on Friday.

Fresh off the heels of his Euro Finals of Poker Diamond Championship, French rapper Kool Shen (aka Bruno Lopes) is still in contention here and will be looking to make a move early in hopes to obtain yet another big win on the circuit, a little over 30 days after his EFOP win.

With over 300K in chips, Benjamin Pollak is another notable that is in great shape heading into Saturday's play.

NOTABLE CHIP COUNTS
Daniel Carter – 419,5k
Bruno Launais – 410k
Greg Ronaldson – 367k
Ayaz Manji – 349k
Benjamin Pollak – 309k
Bruno Lopes – 168,5k
Pascal Ducray – 77,5k
Corinne Gallien – 50,5k

NOTABLE DAY 2 ELIMINATIONS
Rebecca Gerin, Guillaume Darcourt, Nouredine Aittaleb, Emile Petit and Jean-Bernard Bot - who was eliminated on one of the last hands of the nights on Friday.
