Boatman Capsized

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Barny Boatman has parted with his remaining stack of 15,000, making him one of the first casualties in this tournament. Reentries are allowed up until the end of level 9, giving the Brit plenty of time to take another shot.

Da Silva Pushes Out Boatman

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

After earlier action, Chris Da Silva three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind and got three callers, including Barny Boatman. All players checked the {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop. Da Silva led out 3,700 on the {3-Hearts} turn, with Boatman being the only caller.

On the {A-Clubs} river, Da Silva opted for a bet of 5,200 and the British poker icon quickly surrendered to his fellow countryman.

An Unusual Chopped Pot

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Fabrice Soulier, who already lost some chips in the early stages, opened the action to 300 and Michel Chen called on the button. On a {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Soulier continued with 500 and Chen called. Soulier checked the {5-Clubs} turn and called a 1,650 bet from Chen.

On the {7-Diamonds} river, Soulier checked and Chen bet 3,750. Soulier gave it a brief moment, then flung in a calling chip. Chen nodded and showed {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} for just ace-high, but much to his surprise Soulier tabled {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the same hand!

Everyone loves a chopped pot, but Chen probably loved this one more than Soulier.

Not Many Cards in the Air

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Although the clock has been started, a lot of players have yet to take their seat. At least three players need to be seated at a table in order to start dealing, which is only happening at two tables so far.

Fabrice Soulier, Barny Boatman and Stieven Razab-Sekh are amongst the few in the room that chose to sit down right away.
