The table at the back featuring Bertrand Grospellier, Justin Bonomo, Ismael Bojang, JC Alvarado, Huidong Gu, Alex Rocha and Craig Varnell has emerged as the most fun in the room - despite the difficulty of contending with that line-up.

They just exploded laughing when Team PokerStars Pro Grospellier made a Royal Flush in a hand a few moments ago, and he has a huge smile now up over six-figures.

Unfortunately, it looks like the fun may be over fast, as their table will likely be the next to break.
