Pretty Flop Locks Up Double for Beauprez

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Beauprez had a portion of his short stack in already and the rest of it then went into the middle on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} when Jeff Madsen bet the pot.

John Beauprez: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Jeff Madsen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The {7-Diamonds} turn and {4-Spades} kept Beauprez around as Madsen quickly matched his last chips behind before they proceeded to the next hand.

Soverel Vanishes at the End of Day 1

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The 640-entry strong field has already been cut into more than half with fewer than 300 players still in contention.

Among the latest casualties was also Sam Soverel, who got it in with a dominated {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} versus {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. There were no shenanigans on the {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board and that spelled the end for Soverel, who was applauded by Ryan Goindoo and Chris Fraser as he departed the banter-filled table.

McCormick Screams For a Spade

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tom McCormick
Tom McCormick

The exuberant Tom McCormick could be heard across the Paris ballroom with his tournament life at stake on a turn board of {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

His opponent held {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for broadway with a full house redraw, while McCormick had {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

McCormick chanted loudly for a spade, then screamed "SPAAAAAAAADE" as the {4-Spades} came on the river, fulfilling his request and keeping him alive in the tournament.

Taylor and Diebold Chip Up

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Chris Lee check-called a bet worth 6,000 by Esther Taylor on the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board before then leading the {10-Spades} river for 15,000 while in the big blind. Taylor mulled it over for a short while and called to only get shown the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}, which she had beat holding the {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

One table over, a short-stacked Ben Diebold got it in with the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} against an even shorter-stacked opponent who tabled the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The board ran out {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts} and that gave a minor boost to Diebold.

Yotsushika Emerges Among the Big Stacks

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised to 4,000 and was called by fellow big stack Vasil Medarov on the button. Patrick Leonard then raised to 19,000 in the small blind and both big stacks came along. The {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop was checked and the {2-Diamonds} followed on the turn. It checked to Yotsushika and he bet 40,000 in order to win the pot uncontested.

Nguyen Sometimes Has It; Sometimes Not

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Thi Xoa Nguyen
Thi Xoa Nguyen

Tommy Le recalled a hand in which Thi Xoa Nguyen ran a triple barrel bluff with the {a-}{j-}{7-}{7-} on a {k-}{6-}{4-}{8-}{10-} board, which was looked up by Le with the {a-}{k-}{q-}{6-} for two pair.

Nguyen was involved in the action again just now and bet the {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} turn as well as the {3-Diamonds} river with the final bet worth 34,000. Her sole remaining opponent reluctantly called and Nguyen tabled the {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for the straight.

"Ah, so sometimes you have it ..." the comment came while Nguyen raked in the pot with a smile. [Removed:499] chimed in that they would have snap-called earlier had they known Nguyen's aggressive approach, which caused some laughter at the table.

Late Triple Up for Kabbaj

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Kabbaj had been down to as little as 25,000 and then got his chips in while facing action from Elior Sion and Dominykas Karmazinas.

On a board of {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Karmazinas banged his hand on the table as his {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a full wrap and two pair on the turn earned no portion of the pot. Kabbaj tripled with the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for the nut flush while Sion doubled through Karmazinas with the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.
