Moumahdi Coolered Out of Main Event

Will Shillibier

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a flop Yacine Moumahdi moved all in for around 120,000 and was called by Kurt Bjorkland.

Moumahdi showed for a set of kings, but let out a cry of dismay when Bjorklund showed for a flopped straight.

Bjorklund implored the board to pair but the river didn't help and he was eliminated.

Meanwhile Vladimir Nex is sitting on over 400,000 in chips with just four tables remaining in the Main Event.

Kostya into the Chip Lead

Will Shillibier

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Christopher Kostya is sitting pretty at Table 11 with well over 300,000 in chips. Day 1a chip leader Mantas Urbonas bagged 376,000 and that figure looks under threat with at least two levels left in the day.

However, the Paris Edition starting flight chip leader Michel Leibgorin bagged in excess of 500,000 so that will be the target if Kostya wants to bag the overall chip lead.

Are You Ready to Party?

Will Shillibier

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the starting flights for the Unibet Open Main Event almost complete, the players who have already booked their places in Day 2 are looking forward to hopefully making the money and maybe even going even further.

However, tomorrow there is always the prospect of the official Unibet Players Party – open to all players – which is being held at the stunning Palais Maillot nightclub. The party starts at 11:45pm and will go on until late!
