Giangrasso Rivers Full

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Paul Testud has entered the competition over on table 19 and the very same just provided an interesting hand between Michel Segui and Anthony Giangrasso. Joining the action on the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} turn, the player in the big bling checked and Giangrasso led for 1,625. Segui raised to 4,375 from the button and only Giangrasso called from under the gun.

The {9-Diamonds} river saw Giangrasso check-raise from 10,000 to 20,600 and he was reluctantly called by Segui who then shook his head when he got shown the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Segui has about 35,000 left while his opponent moved up to three times the starting stack.

Menes Runs Into Aces

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante
Pierre Menes
Pierre Menes

Unibet Poker ambassador Pierre Menes was among the most recently eliminated players. We didn't catch the hand but the Frenchman said that he got his last 18,000 chips in preflop with {A-}{K-} and ran straight into the pocket aces of an opponent.

Zarbo Done for the Day

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Level four is not completed yet but Giuseppe Zarbo can already look for another distraction. The Italian, who final-tabled this very same tournament last year, has been among the most recent eliminations and the field has been cut down to 171 out of 186 players left on Day 1a.

Bacci Busted

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

On the table of Mateusz Moolhuizen, Antoine Bacci raised to 950 from under the gun and was called by Patrick van Wolferen and Peter Eichhardt in the blinds. The Swede check-raised from 1,050 to 3,500 on a {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop and called the shove of Bacci for around 7,000 in total with the {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Bacci had aces with the {A-Clubs} but no further club would show up on the board anymore to save the Frenchman.

Grax Stacked Up

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

While walking through the tournament area, one particular hand caught our attention. Sebastien Grax was already among the bigger stacks and he had raised preflop to pick up two callers in Zoltan Kapitany and Dylan Gressel. Gressel had not acted yet and Grax already fired 1,700 to get called by Kapitany.

Floor was called as the next burn card was already done while Gressel also tossed in the necessary chips. The floor ruled to reshuffle the whole deck and then they progressed to the {10-Clubs} on the turn. Gressel check-folded to a bet of 2,900 by Grax while Kapitany made the call. Both remaining players then checked the {A-Clubs} on the river and Grax showed the {A-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair.

Kapitany mucked to what looked like jacks and Grax is the current leader.

Nine Seat Open

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Among the three players that recently busted, the name Anthony Borde sticks out as most well-known. The Frenchman had made a deep run at the PCA back in 2013 and scored a payday of $ 56,000 for his 18th place finish. There are currently 177 out of 186 players remaining.

Dream Flop for Hegedus

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Franck Boyer was the initial raiser and faced Emil Hegedus in the big blind to see a heads-up flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} checked through. On the {3-Hearts} turn, Hegedus led for 1,600 an was called before the {K-Spades} river completed the board. Now Hegedus made it 3,600 to go and Boyer quickly raised to 8,025.

The Hungarian didn't snap off right away but eventually made the call. Relieved when seeing the {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} of his opponent, Hegedus turned over his {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a straight and bumped up his stack nicely.

Van Honk busts Sellaoui

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

We have a new chip leader in Frank van Honk and it was some kind of a deja vu from the very first level when the Dutchman and Ahmed Sellaoui had clashed. "Everybody called a raise and we were seven on the flop," van Honk said. Sellaoui then bet 3,200 on {A-}{K-}{10-} and was called by one opponent before the Dutchman raised to 12,000.

Sellaoui moved all in for pretty much starting stack and the {A-}{10-} while van Honk snapped him off with the {Q-}{J-} for a flopped straight. Two blanks later Sellaoui was gone and the Dutchman moved into the lead.
