Laurent a précédé Vincent Londez et Nicolas Faure de quelques secondes dans le rail.

Davor Anticevic a lui aussi quitté ses camarades, tout comme le Néerlandais Albert Hoekendijk et l’Américain Maxime Broyer.

Fred Leonetti pousse son tapis et son adversaire jette rapidement, préférant se garder 70 000 jetons derrière.

Le Français grimpe lui à 400 000 jetons.

Morten Mortensen aura joué moins d’un level dans ce Jour 2 du High Roller WPT DeepStacks Brussels.

Dernier enregistré du tournoi, le Danois s’incline avec   contre   chez Matthias De Meulder pour un pot de 35 blindes.

Le Belge grimpe à 220 000 jetons à l’issue de ce coup.
