Hey Ladies!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
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.

Spinks Wins Without Showdown
Jon Spinks is at a new table with Arnuad Mattern and off to winning ways there. He opened from early position and was called in two spots en route to a 
flop.
His 2,200 c-bet was only called by Antonio Gonzalez Miranda one more seat along. Both players checked the 
turn before Spinks led for 6,900 on 
river. Miranda tank-folded.

Look Out, He's Behind You
Martin Jacobson's main event journey has come to and end. Alexander Hering opened to 900 from the cut-off and the Swedish superstar three-bet jammed with ace-eight suited for 11,300 from the button.
It wasn't Hering he had to worry about though. Yury Kerzhapkin was sat behind in the big blind with ace-king and busted him.

Checking Things Out
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.

board, Rodolphe Rey checked to an opponent who bet 2,500. Rey re-raised, sliding about 40,000 into the middle to cover his opponent who quickly called all in for 11,125.
Rey tabled 
, but was drawing thin against his opponent's 
. Rey found no help from the river, but is still going strong with about 83,000.
