Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Yangfeng Wang
Yangfeng Wang

Freddy Normand in the small blind and Yanfeng Wang in the big blind had created a pot of 8,300 when they went to the flop of QK2. Normand checked to Wang, who made a bet of 2,500.

Normand thought for a bit before making the call, after which the 3 turn appeared. Normand checked again and this time Wang put 6,500 chips in the middle.

Normand looked at his opponent, his cards, the clock, and his chips before finally electing to give this one up to Wang.

Hulme Catches Big Bluff

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Andrew Hulme sat in the small blind and checked to his opponent Maher Achout on a turn of 99105. Achour then bet 3,500 into a pot of the same size, and Hulme made the call.

The 10 river double-paired the board and Achour fired again, this time for 9,000. Hulme did not take long before he put in another check-call.

Achour could only show 87 for an eight-high kicker, while Hulme turned over AJ for a turned flush to rake in the pot.

Petakovich Provides First Casualty of Day 1a

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Milos Petakovic
Milos Petakovic

The action was caught when the cards were being swept away, but with some chips already in the middle, Daniel Lellouche had put in his final 14,000 on a board of A10J53.

Milos Petakovic was the other player in the hand, and his AK for the nut flush beat the KxQx of Lellouche, who had flopped a straight.

Lellouche was dismayed and let out some stern words in his native French before storming off as the first bust-out of the EPT Paris Main Event.

One Bet Enough to Take Three-Way Three-Bet Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Julien Gal had raised preflop from early position and Javier Rodriguez Gonzalez called from the cutoff. Matteo Cavelier then made it 1,500 to go from the button and both players called.

On the 5J9 flop, the action was checked to Cavelier, who put in another 1,500. Both opponents then quickly folded, seeing Cavelier chip back up after a less-than-ideal start.
