Facing an 850-chip open, PokerStars.fr Qualifier Pierre Fehner bumped it up to 2,125.
However, fellow Frenchman Joseph Carlino was waiting in the wings with two red queens in the big blind and promptly shoved for 23,200 total.
The original raiser dumped his holdings, but Fehner made the quick call with...two black queens.
Two diamonds on the flop made Fehner look, but a black card on the turn ensured a chop.

Although his trap failed to work in the following hand, Marchel Masaladzhiu has crested the 100k mark here in Deauville and appears to be at least among the Day 1a leaders.
On an 


board and facing a 2,100-chip bet, we caught Masaladzhiu raising it up to 4,600. A third player in the hand made the call and after the original bettor folded, the
river was revealed.
Masaladzhiu tank-checked, but it wasn't enough to induce a bet from his heads-up opponent, who checked and turned over 
.
Masaladzhiu held 
and had rivered a flush to drag the pot and still push over the 100k mark.
