Remaud Eliminated by Bouvier

Christian Zetzsche

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

"The blinds have priority," the tournament director confirmed with the dealer which could only mean one thing. One player had just lost the vast majority of the chips and was forced all-in out of the blinds.

That happened to be Jean-Charles Remaud after a clash with Titas Gancierius and he was all-in for the final 3,000 out of the big blind. He then faced the raise to 8,000 by Sylvain Pujol from under the gun and the button call by Gancierius.

Alexis Bouvier squeezed to 50,000 in the small blind and isolated successfully.

Jean-Charles Remaud:
Alexis Bouvier:

"I had king-queen, no worries it's a standard play," Pujol told Bouvier in French. The board kept jacks in the lead and Remaud exited late on Day 1a.

Late Double for Negron; Milhoes Unhappy

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Christian Ly was involved in three-way action and pushed the river when checked to by Mario Milhoes as the only remaining opponent. Milhoes was visibly upset and tank-folded as Ly's late surge continued.

Moments later, Marc Negron pushed for 46,500 in the small blind and Milhoes called from one seat over.

Marc Negron:
Mario Milhoes:

The flop improved Milhoes and Negron vaulted out of his chair, then sat back down on the turn and the river was a blank. Milhoes' mood darkened even more and their table broke shortly after.

Christian Ly	640,000 360,000	360,000

Pereira Pulls Ahead of Bouvier

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With a pot of 100,000 to the river, Alexis Bouvier checked in the big blind. Daniel Pereira bet 70,000 on the button and that sent Bouvier into the tank for half a minute. He then tossed in a single chip for the call and Pereira tabled the . That was good as Bouvier mucked the to drop behind Pereira on the leaderboard.

Daniel Henriques	440,000 440,000	440,000

Dana's Done Very Late on Day 1a

Calamusa Adds More Chips

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pierre Calamusa arrived with two racks to his new table after the previous one in the Mandalay Room broke. He soon after defended the big blind against a button raise by Remi Parpillon and they checked the flop. Calamusa bet the turn for 15,000 and that won the pot right away.

He then took a selfie with his new Spanish table neighbour and joked to be chip leader after Day 1 only to bust on Day 2. Guess that prediction will be deciphered in the next hour and upcoming few days.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pierre Calamusa	695,000 220,000	220,000

Remi Parpillon	590,000 -45,000	-45,000
