€1,200 Main Event
Day 1a Started
For the second time ever after the PokerStars France Poker Series last year, the Stade Français Paris rugby team's stadium Stade Jean-Bouin hosts a poker tournament. From the 22nd to the 28th of May, players from all around France and Europe will compete to win one of the ten rings in play for WSOP Circuit Paris 2024 by Texapoker and Partouche.
The series already started a few days ago with a €250 WSOP-C Online Event on Winamax.fr. Out of a field of 5,094 entrants, Constantin "CNLAU" Lau won a massive pot at 10 players left, took the lead, and never lost it until the end at 6 a.m. He secured a total of €110,764 and the first 2024 WSOP Circuit Paris ring.
Yesterday, after a two-day event, the first live ring was awarded to Samuel Fournier, who was crowned the winner of the €550 WSOP-C Cup for €45,400. There were 610 entrants in this tournament. Additionally, 110 entrants participated in the €2,400 WSOP-C High Roller event, which will conclude today.

A player opened to 500 in early position and was called by Jerome Orain on the button. Action folded to Jean-Francois Breau in the big blind, who produced a three-bet to 1,300. Both of his opponents called.
On the K♠3♦10♣ flop, Breau continued with a bet of 1,800. The pre-flop opener called and Orain folded.
The 4♦ rolled off on the turn, and Breau continued to fire, putting out a slightly increased bet of 2,500. After some thought, his opponent folded, sending a nice early pot to Breau.

After an open to 500 by the button, Adrien Burgniard called from the small blind and so did the big blind.

Burgniard continued for 1,300 on the 7♥ river, and made his opponent fold.

Chips totaling 1,100 were in front of Manlio Gasparotto in early position, an opponent on the button, with action on Laurent Crochemore in the big blind.
Crochemore reached for chips and produced a raise to 3,700. After some thought, Gasparotto four-bet to 7,700, the button folded and Crochemore called.
On the 10♣3♦6♥ flop, Crochemore checked to his opponent. Gasparotto slid forward a bet of 8,600, leading to Crochemore tapping the table and quickly letting go of his hand.

The under-the-gun player opened to 500. Jérôme Barone to his left three-bet to 1,500 and Julien Breuil called from the cutoff. The big blind called as well, but the initial raiser folded.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥8♦4♣, and both the big blind and Barone checked to Breuil who bet 1,700. Barone called to find the 5♥ turn, where he led out for 300.
Breuil raised to 7,000, and Barone went into the tank. He eventually folded J♥J♣ face up, which was the best hand as Breuil revealed 9♥8♥.
Moments later, Barone scooped the blinds and revealed A♠A♣.
