Day 2 Cometh

Jacques Enjoubault
Jacques Enjoubault

Day 2 of the World Poker Tour Season XI Grand Prix de Paris is set to start here at the Aviation Club de France in the next thirty minutes, and for the first time all 143 players will be under the same roof.

Jacques Enjoubault is our overall chip leader with 225,200 chips, and is followed by Antony Lellouche (178,275), Basil Yaiche (142,475), Pasi Heinanen (100,500), and Juha Helppi (96,200). No player crossed the six-figure mark during Day 1b, while four players finished Day 1a with over 100,000 chips.

Enjoubault may have over 4.75 times the average stack, but there are plenty of great players standing between him and the final table, including a plethora of WPT Champions Club Members: Michael Mizrachi, Will Failla, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Juha Helppi, Theo Jorgensen, Sean Jazayeri, Marvin Rettenmaier, Eugene Katchalov, David Benyamine, Matt Waxman, Davidi Kitai, and Scott Seiver. Rettenmaier is looking for his third win this year, and Waxman is looking to win back-to-back Grand Prix de Paris'.

The cards will be in the air shortly, so make sure you stay tuned to PokerNews.com for all of your up-to-the-minute updates!

The Cards are in the Air!

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

The cards in the air here on Day 2. The play is to play four or five 90-minute levels today, and the goal is to reach 72 players. The prize pool was recently released, and we'll pass on the details shortly.

Serockin'

Joe Serock opened to 1,500 in early position, Anastasios Belesis called in middle position, and Guy Halimi moved all in for 5,200 near the button. Serock called, Belsis released, and the hands were opened.

Serock{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Halimi{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop gave Serock a leading pair of queens, and they held as the turn and river came {8-Clubs}, {a-Spades} respectively. Serock is up to 62,000, while Halimi is eliminated.

Colin Busts One

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Bryan Colin was heads up with an opponent with the board reading {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The player moved all in, and Colin immediately called with {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a turned full house. The player sheepishly turned over {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and a meaningless {j-Clubs} completed the board, eliminating him from the tournament.

O'Dwyer Slow Rolled, Eliminated

Stephen O'Dwyer (Day 1b) - Eliminated
Stephen O'Dwyer (Day 1b) - Eliminated

Facing a three-bet to 4,500 from Stephen O'Dwyer, Daniel Amara four-bet to 12,300. When the action was back on O'Dywer, he effectively five-bet all in (leaving only a handful of black T100 chips behind) and Amara went into the tank. After a minute or so, Amara moved all in, and O'Dwyer quickly called.

O'Dwyer's {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} was crushed by Amara's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and the board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, eliminating O'Dwyer from play.

Matt Waxman (Day 1a) - Out

The defending champion of the Grand Prix de Paris is gone.

We just saw Matt Waxman exit the Aviation Club de France, and when we went to his table to find out what happened, two-time WPT Champion Marvin Rettenmaier gave us the scoop.

According to Rettenmaier, Waxman four-bet shoved holding {a-}{k-}, and was called by Ekrem Sanioglu, who had {q-}{q-}. The queens held, and Waxman was eliminated.

Mo For Mohsin

Play was three handed with the board reading {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Naji Abolo checked, Mohsin Charania bet 3,300, and Jordane Ouin called. Abolo released.

The {2-Hearts} completed the board, and Charania reached for all of his pink T5,000 chips, firing a bet of 25,000. Ouin only had 17,500 behind, and went into the tank.

He eventually folded {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} face up, and Charania mucked his hand.
