Players are on a 15 minute break. Run to the bar!
[Removed:13] had led out for 1,500 on the 
flop, another player made it 3,050 before Barbara Martinez reraised to 7,100. Guiglini folded with some reluctance but the player in between was more obstinate and made the call.
The turn was the 
and after a check, Martinez bet 3,550 which was quickly called. The 
river went check-check and Martinez showed just 
, miles behind her opponent's 
which scooped.
Markus Golser just rivered a King-high flush and a pot courtesy of his 
- on the river the board had brought the seven: 
and saw him bet 1,025 which was met with that satisfying (for the bettor) call-muck combination which saw him get off the ground and over his starting stack.
Just a moment ago two players with the same big 'W' sponsors' patches clashed without mercy as friends Guillaume de la Gorce and Nicolas Levi started one of many little skirmishes in this fashion - Levi (positioned, incidentally, on the right of another of their team mates Michel Abecassis) raised to 300 and received a call from de la Gorce on the button. The flop of 
brought two checks, but the 
turn saw Levi check again, and then fairly swiftly call his opponent's bet of 525. The river was the 
and the double check revealed a quick turnover of both de la Gorce's air 
and Levi's winning 
. "Winamax?" asked a table mate with a raised eyebrow at them, and received a wry nod.
Nicolas Levi opened to 275 preflop and Shane Schleger flat-called in the small blind. Both players checked the 
flop before Schleger led out for 500 on the 
turn, Levi called and both players then opted for cautiousness on the 
river which was checked down.
Schleger flipped 
, enough to win a small pot from the behatted Frenchman.
Ludovic Lacay raised preflop to 300 and Antony Lellouche made the call behind him. Jim Collopy then reraised out of the small blind to 1,625 before Lacay upped once more with a 4-bet to 4,000.
Lellouche threw away his cards and went out for a smoke while Collopy tanked for a couple of minutes. The latter then 5-bet to 9,375 to put the pressure back on Lacay, who recounted out his chips before electing to just call.
The flop was and Collopy bet just 4,800. Lacay rechecked his cards, before moving all-in and Collopy quickly called.
Lacay:
Collopy: 
The turn was the 
and the river an academic 
. Collopy doubled to 60,000 while Lacay has just 3,000 left.
It looks like UK player John Eames was originally intending to go for the first flight option but upon arriving today changed his mind and has left the 101 (and slowly rising) players to battle through the admittedly fairly tough looking Day 1A lineup. Also floating around but unclear whether they're going to be at the felt today: Praz Bansi, Alan Baekke, Javed Abrahams and Andrew Teng.
Meanwhile chips are flying out of the 30,000 starting stacks and into quick-fire pots left and right; never one to sit wallfloweresque at the start of a 30,000 stacked tournament, John Kabbaj wasn’t keen to pass to a threebet from the small blind right off the bat which bumped their heads up preflop pot to 3,500. A flop of 
brought two fairly rapid checks, but Kabbaj passed to his opponent’s 1,500 bet when the turn brought the .
In the first half hour I don't think there's been anything which counts as a dwell of any sort. One player gave a clear example of the phrase, "beat him into the pot" with a set of nines on a board. He check-called the river 3,500 so fast it would need a photo-finish kit to tell whose chips hit the felt first. It was good.
Shane Schleger opened to 300 from UTG, Jerome Zerbib raised to 800 behind him before Michel Abercassis 4-bet to 1,825. Everyone else folded, including Schleger folded but Zerbib made the call to give us a fairly large pot this early on the tournament.
Both players checked the innocuous looking flop of 
before Zerbib bet 2,100 on the turn. Abercassis made the call and the river was the , now Zerbib now bet 4,500 and Abercassis instantly called, Zerbib reluctantly showed a missed but Abercassis showed a surprising 
which raised a few eyebrows at the table.
