We arrived at the table to find that Bruno Fitoussi (button) three-bet Andrey Zaichenko's (cutoff) opening raise to 1,400. Action folded back to Zaichenko and he four-bet to 4,300. Fitoussi called after a few moments and the flop came down .
Zaichenko fired 5,600, but was unable to shake Fitoussi. When the turn fell, Zaichenko bet 10,500. Fitoussi gave it some thought but opted to lay it down.
A little aggression from Frenchman Remi Marlair has lifted him up among the early leaders.
We recently caught him making it 500 to go from the small blind in an unopened pot and when the player in the big blind made it 2k, he smooth called. The flop came and Marlair checked, allowing the Big Blind to lead out for 2k.
Rather than fold, or call, he raised, making it 5,600 and after the Big Blind matched the bet, the dealer revealed the turn. Marlair took the lead this time, making it 6,500 and his opponent folded.
Catching up with the action on an board, a player bet 3,500 into Team PokerStars Pros Toni Judet and Dario Minieri.
Judet folded, but Minieri called to see the river. A check led to a bet of 11,000 from the Italian pro. A quick call from his opponent led to Minieri saying, "Two pair."
His opponent turned over , though, and Minieri saw half his stack head to the opposite end of the table.
We arrived at Jose "Nacho" Barbero's table and found his bet of 600 called by two players on a flop.
All three players checked the turn, landing the on the river. The first player to act bet 2,150 and received a call only from Barbero, who quickly mucked when his opponent tabled .
