Jimmy Kebe open-shoved a short stack and so did Antony Lellouche two seats over, all players behind folded.
Jimmy Kebe: A♥10♣
Antony Lellouche: K♦Q♣
The two live cards of Lellouche got there on the Q♠6♣6♠5♦10♠ runout and Kebe was sent to the rail.
Isaac Borghouts raised 8,000 from early position and Marta Miquel Munoz called next to act before Patrice Riou came along in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♦3♦2♦, and Riou check-folded to a bet of 8,000 from Borghouts, while Munoz stuck around.
The 9♦ fell on the turn, and Borghouts checked to Munoz who fired a bet of 17,000 across the line. Borghouts thought about it for about 10 seconds before announcing all-in and Munoz surrendered her hand.
Fabian Bartuschk raised to 8,000 and Jeremy Saderne called all-in for half of that, Stephane Goard moved all-in for 14,000 behind that. Gregory Teboul and Bartuschk both called.
The two active players checked to the A♦K♣9♦10♣Q♥ river on which Teboul check-folded when Bartuschk bet 8,000.
"Straight," Bartuschk declared and tabled his K♦J♦. Saderne showed his A♣10♥ for two pair and the Q♠10♠ of Godard were no good either.
Anthony Kennedy moved all in from middle position for 34,000, less than ten big blinds. Jonathan Abdellatif isolated from late position with just 2,000 more in his stack. Players flipped their cards.
Anthony Kennedy: J♠8♠
Jonathan Abdellatif: A♠J♣
The board ran out 2♥J♦3♣8♥Q♣. Both players paired their jack on the flop, but Kennedy hit two pair on the turn to pull ahead and held to win the pot. He doubled his stack, leaving Abdellatif very short.
Rafal Kaczmarski was all-in for 38,000 with the A♠A♦ and Jeremy Saderne had that barely covered, but was in deep trouble holding the A♣8♣ only.
The board ran out 6♦6♠5♦4♥9♠ and Kaczmarski held onto the lead.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Today begins the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT). Thousands have descended on Paris for a 12-day poker extravaganza.
After a successful kick-off last year, PokerStars has picked up some valuable lessons, ensuring an even better player experience this time around. The exciting news: the off-the-felt activities are making a comeback, promising a ton of fun beyond the poker tables. Here's what's in store for those making the trip to the French capital city.
Just 298 of the 1,104 entries remain and those players are on a 15-minute break.
Day 1e will close when 166 players remain.
Diogo Coelho opened 6,000 under the gun, and Louis Linard called on the button before Jonathan Abdellatif went into the tank, eying up his own stack. After a few more seconds of pondering, he jammed his last 12,000, and Coelho announced all-in, forcing Linard out.
Jonathan Abdellatif: K♥9♦
Diogo Coelho: 6♠6♥
The board ran out 3♥3♠3♣2♣K♣, giving Abdellatif threes full of kings to drag the pot.
Three ways to the K♦8♠6♠J♦ turn, Hael Al Labani in the big blind and Jovan Kenjic in the under-the-gun position checked. Mounim Kaddouri bet 23,000 and received two callers.
Al Labani then jammed the 7♥ river for the last 40,000 and Kenjic folded. Kaddouri asked for a count and called, then sighed vividly when he was shown the 9♦5♦ for a straight. Kaddouri mucked his K♠J♠ in disgust and dropped to a short stack.
"I lost ace-king suited to nines before, and tens versus ace-king," Al Labani recalled right before they went into the break.
