Fourth Seat Open

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Guillaume Darcourt had been involved involved in a bigger hand versus Brian Benhamou earlier and was forced to lay down his hand. Then he got an opponent on tilt with {3-} {9-} and third pair before opening to 300. There was a reraise to 1,200 and two callers, thus the Frenchman called as well to see a flop of {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Spades}.

Darcourt bet 1,875 and only one opponent called to see the {Q-Clubs} on the turn. The Frenchman made it 4,500 to go and called the all in of his opponent for 12,000 with {4-Spades} {6-Spades}. He faced {A-} {K-} and the {A-Spades} river was a brick to award the pot to Darcourt.

Merlin Struggeling Further

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

After a raise to 300 from Guillaume Darcourt, three players called to see the flop of {Q-Spades} {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, which got checked through. The {8-Spades} turn saw a bet of Pierre Merlin for 700 out of the small blind and one opponent in early position called to see the {Q-Hearts} river. Merlin bet 1,600 and mucked his cards immediately after he got called.

The opponent flipped over the {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} for a flush as winning hand.

Almost 100 Entries Now

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Among the most recent entries to the field, Isabel Baltazar, Ludovic Riehl, Anthony Kondah and Abdelhadi Kondah have all taken their seats. There are now almost 100 players registered for Day 1a and one of them has already been eliminated.

First Seat Open

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The player who has been eliminated is unfortunately unknown, but the chips went to Emile Domingos. According to Quentin Lecomte, the Spaniard had defended his big blind against a 300-raise and then found a magic flop of {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs}. Domingos somehow got the opponent at risk with {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs} for the flopped straight and flush draw to see the opponent drawing dead after the turn already with pocket kings.

Early Roller Coaster for Merlin

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Pierre Merlin lost a lot of chips when running into the nut flush of an opponent before the Frenchman was all in for his last 6,825 chips with pocket fives on the river of a {Q-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} board. His opponent called and then mucked the {A-Diamonds} when getting shown the full house of Merlin.

Andrade versus Soutavong

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Nuno Andrade first three-bet a hand to enforce a fold from an opponent and then opened to 300 again, getting called by Bruno Soutavong in the blinds. The {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} {8-Spades} flop was checked through and Andrade then bet the {2-Spades} turn. Soutavong check-called and checked again the {Q-Spades} river.

Andrade picked up chips and then made it 1,350 to go. This proved to be too much for the Frenchman and Soutavong folded.
