Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante

Among those who entered as late as level nine last night was November Niner Pierre Neuville who still had enough time to run up a stack of 101,400 in the three levels after dinner.
Twelve levels are scheduled for the day when players will bag and tag ahead of Day 2 tomorrow
Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
Romain Paon, sporting a rather fetching PCA 2016 sweatshirt raised from the cutoff to 2,000 over a middle position raise. The button called and Jacques Guenni in the small blind moved all in for just under 8,000. The initial raiser fold and Romain Paon quickly moved all in to isolate the player on the button. He folded and the cards were turned over.
Paon: 
Guenni: 
There was an Ace in the window for Paon and Guenni banged his fist against the table as the flop was dealt 
and there was no help on the turn or river as the board bricked for Guenni 
. As soon as the Paon saw the Ace he moved round to the other side of the table to kiss Guenni on both cheeks. Jacques Guenni now has 30 minutes plus the dinner break to decide if he wants to reenter
