Rezaei and Saout Chop a Four-Bet Pot

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Armin Rezaei raised to 300 in the cutoff and Antoine Saout made it 1,100 to go on the button. Rezaei then clicked it back to 3,500 for Saout to call and the Austrian bet the {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop for 2,500, picking up the call from Saout. Both checked down the {5-Diamonds} turn and {9-Spades} river as Rezaei tabled the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Saout chopped with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

"Big one," Rezaei joked. The table now also features Dinesh Alt, who bowed out late on Day 1a.

Debregeas Bets Turn to Take Early Pot

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Action was heads-up with 4,200 in the pot and {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades} on the board, Loic Debregeas bet 3,100 from the small blind and Julien Dureysseix called. The turn was {9-Spades}. Debregeas continued for 7,000 on the turn and that was too much for Dureysseix so he tossed his hand in the muck to give up the early pot.

Four-Bet Pot to Boi

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

A reraise to 2,000 was in front of Alejandro Lococo out of the big blind and he then faced a squeeze to 4,900 by Paolo Boi in the cutoff. Lococo opted to flat-call after giving it some thought for half a minute and tossed in a blue T-5,000 chip. The flop brought {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Lococo checked for Boi to bet 5,100 and win the pot right there.

Pirmamod Second Casualty of the Day

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Julien Mariani
Julien Mariani

Nasrodin Pirmamod raised to 300 and Julien Mariani three-bet to 1,300 from one seat over in the hijack. Daniel Golder then four-bet to 4,000 and Pirmamod called all-in, Mariani called as well.

The {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was checked by both active players and Mariani bet the {9-Spades} turn for 3,800. Golder carefully counted his entire stack and opted to fold.

Nasrodin Pirmamod: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Julien Mariani: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The {9-Diamonds} river brought a full house on the board but Mariani's pocket pair secured the second knockout of the day. Michael Goodman had been the first to bust in the opening stages in the Palmiers Room.
