We're down the final ten players at the WPT National Series Paris - Euro Finals of Poker Event.

Benjamin Pollak and star pro Sam Trickett (pictured, left) lead the way. Trickett has been amongst the chip leaders since Day 1 of this event. He continues his current hot streak.

Isabelle Mercier couldn't survive with her small chip stack. She finished 18th.

Day 4 is going to be a very short day as we're playing down to Monday's final table. We are one player away from PTPR Points being awarded. Action resumes in a few hours at the Aviation Club de France in Paris.

WPT EFOP DIAMOND EVENT: DONE WITH DAY 2

PHOTO CREDIT: PARTYPOKER.fr/blog

88 showed up for Day 2 at the WPT National Series Paris - Euro Finals of Poker Diamond Event. 31 players will return to the Aviation Club de France tomorrow for Day 3 - we will be playing down to 14 players - could be a very short day, but hey, the final 14 won't complain, spending a Saturday evening in Paris? I can think of worse things.

Sam Trickett is sitting in sixth place, about 30,000 chips off the chip lead. Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier is trying to climb back into the live tournament ranks - although she has her work cut out for her - she is one of the smallest stacks and sits in 29th position.
