After the 715 entries recorded on the first two flights of the €1,000 WSOP Circuit Aix-en-Provence Main Event, the Pasino Grand and Texapoker expected to double this number with Day 1c and Day 1d Turbo. That’s almost exactly what happened with a total number of 1,433 entries overall in this 2025 edition. It is almost 400 more runners than last year’s 1,056 entries, and it brings the total prize pool to €1,238,112, way over the million euros guarantee.

To complete the list of players who found their seats for Day 2, 137 players out of 551 qualified through Day 1c. They are led by Adel Naoun with 472,000 chips and a group of nine players over 400,000 chips like Hugo Heiter (465,000), Farid Diaf (455,000), Brian Paccaud (437,000) or Jonathan Khalifa (436,000).

“Oh, I have more than you,” Sofiane Drissi said at the end of the day to Matthieu Mary when he realized that with 430,000 chips, he had only 1,000 chips more than his neighbor at the table. Mary, by the way, was one of the big stacks at least since dinner break, after he won a big pot with a full house against a flush.

Day 1c Top 10 Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Adel Naoun	France	472,000	118
2	Hugo Heiter	France	465,000	116
3	Farid Diaf	France	455,000	114
4	Brian Paccaud	France	437,000	109
5	Jonathan Khalifa	France	436,000	109
6	Sofiane Drissi	France	430,000	108
7	Matthieu Mary	France	429,000	107
8	Matthias Delbano	France	420,000	105
9	Vincent Miranda	France	409,000	102
10	Johan Martinet	France	398,000	100

Giuseppe Zarbo (395,000) qualified for Day 2 today, as did Belgium’s Damien Hupé (310,000), local players Julien Mariani (305,000) and Jérémy Palvini (301,000), or Bruno Fitoussi (297,000). Winamax Team Pros Julien Sitbon (315,000) and Romain Lewis (175,000) also made their way to the next step, along with former teammate Gaelle Baumann (170,000) and Erwann Pecheux (267,000).

The field will also be quite international, with notable players like Farid Jattin, who bagged 168,000 chips, Lorenzo Arduini (151,000), and Jan Schwippert, whose 88,000-chip stack is just over the starting stack.

Finally, 42 players out of 167 entrants waited for Day 1d Turbo — the fourth and final flight of the tournament — to build a stack. Most of them, like Heni Mokni (285,000), WSOP-C High Roller runner-up Volga Uyanik (270,000) or Pierre Merlin (215,000), bagged more or less the average stack. But Alban Beysson did twice as well, ending the day as the chip leader with 558,000 chips.

WPO Bratislava champion Aliosha Staes (171,000) was saved by this ultimate flight after an unsuccessful attempt on Day 1c as well. The same goes for EPT champion Nicolas Dumont (123,000), and for Safwane Bahri, who returns with a very short stack of 34,000.

A total of 356 players will return tomorrow at 1 p.m. local time for Day 2 of the WSOP Circuit Aix-en-Provence Main Event. However, not all of them will make it to the money. Play will resume with 31 minutes remaining in Level 14, featuring blinds of 2,000/4,000 and a 4,000 big blind ante, and the complete prize pool will be announced at the start of the day.

Stay tuned to PokerNews as the chips continue to fly here in Aix-en-Provence!
