Right now there is just one Winamax Team Pro in the field, and that is Bruno Lopes.

There have been several Team Pros who have already made Day 2. Yesterday Davidi Kitai, Pierre Calamusa, Guillaume Diaz and Leo Margets advanced, while Joao Vieira and Sylvain Loosli did it at the first time of asking.

That leaves just Lopes, as well as Beer Pong Open winner Gaelle Baumann, Ivan Deyra, Adrien Delmas, Romain Lewis and Mustapha Kanit left to try and get through to Day 2.

Luck of the Irish

Level 4 : 175/350, 350 ante

As to be expected, there are a lot of Irish players in the field here in Dublin. However, they are dwarfed by the enormity of the field, filled as it is with French amateurs and online players.

Two players that stand out are Paul Leckey and Andy Black (pictured left). The pair sit atop their respective country's all-time money list and have made a good start to their tournament.

Former Professional Footballer Kebe in the Field

Level 3 : 150/300, 300 ante

Sometimes poker players make it easy for us to see them. It might be that they have a instantly noticeable beard or hairstyle, or that they are always talking. However, [Removed:30] always wears the same hoodie and sunglasses.

And he's here today! Seated in the Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event on Day 1c. Kebe, who used to play for Reading, Crystal Palace and Leeds, has several poker cashes on his Hendon Mob including cashing the 2018 Winamax Poker Tour Paris Main Event in 52nd place for €1,300.

Dupre Hopes For Easier Day

Level 2 : 125/250, 250 ante
Marvin Dupre
Marvin Dupre

Marvin Dupre is a French singer who competed on the television programe 'The Voice' in 2017. He was in the field yesterday, but is now back in action on Day 1c.

"I'm pretty good," he said. "It's my first time here and I'm really happy to be here."

Dupre was in action earlier this year at the Winamax SISMIX in Marrakech, but the atmosphere here in Dublin is decidedly different.

"The vibe is very good. It's lots of fun, but yesterday was pretty hard. I was on a table with Guillaume Diaz and Romain Lewis. It was complicated. But it's ok!"

In this hand a player opened to 575 and Dupre three-bet to 1,575. His opponent called. The flop came {3-Spades}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the initial raiser check-folded to a continuation bet of 1,025 and open-folded {8-}{8-}.
