The Frenchman shoved his last 15,700 behind a raise in early position. He was way ahead his opponent with 02.15<\/strong><\/p>\n Two short-stacks moved all-in before the flop and Micka\u00ebl Ostreicher decided to call both with King-Queen suited. He was up against two Ace-King and caught a sweet queen on the turn.<\/p>\n A few minutes later, he was up against two players on a 02.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Estelle Denis doubled up. A player raised preflop and Estelle moved all-in for 12,100 total. Her opponent called with 01.45<\/strong><\/p>\n Powerful move of Ana\u00efs Lerouge. Antoine Saout’s girlfriend raised preflop for 3,600 and got re-raised to 10,600. She moved all-in instantly for 60,000 total and her opponent eventually folded Ace-King. She showed a pair of… ducks.<\/p>\n 01.20<\/strong><\/p>\n Albert Sosnowski just won a healthy pot in a weird way. While the cut-off raised to 2,000, Albert announced raise and put 2,800 in the middle. He obviously didn’t see the previous raise and the dealer forced him to make the minimum raise, 4,000. The cut-off called, a little bit pissed off.<\/p>\n The flop came 00.45<\/strong><\/p>\n Antony Lellouche just lost a big pot. There was a limp in early position and a player isolated just behind to 2,800. Lellouche, in position, fired a 3-bet to 6,800. The rest of the table folded and the initial raiser quickly called. They both saw a At the same table, \u00abBasou\u00bb keeps going well and his stack is around 180,000!<\/p>\n 00.15<\/strong><\/p>\n Quads! Sebastien Boyard limped under the gun, two other guys limped as well and \u00abBasou\u00bb checked his option. The flop came Antoine Saout is having a pretty good run. He has almost reached the 100K stack.<\/p>\n 00.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Antoine Saout just gave a big headache to another player. The pot was big on the river with the board was 23.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Antony Lellouche has been transfered to the table of \u00abBasou\u00bb, who’s sitting with more than 200,000 chips. And he’s using those chips very well. He raised from middle position to 1,525 and got called by the button. On a flop 23.00<\/strong><\/p>\n The EPT champion Christophe Benzimra had a bad run just before the break. He lost a big pot with Ace-Queen against Ace-King and another pot with eight against Jacks. Down to 9,000 chips, he moved all-in with 22.45<\/strong><\/p>\n The tournament director just made a pretty funny announcement. He said that we’re not anymore 542 players but only 541. Why? Because a stack of one player has been removed. Why? Because he played both day 1A and day 1B! Why? Because he misunderstood that it was the same tourney and thought he was playing on different tournaments.<\/p>\n He came to the floor by himself to explain his mistake. He got a refund and his stack minus the 30,000 starting chips will be attacked by the other players tomorrow on day 2! Who’s gonna be at the table of the ghost? Wait and see.<\/p>\n 22.30<\/strong><\/p>\n The WSOP Ladies champion Vanessa Hellebuyck just took a hit. The board was 22.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Ludovic Lacay has busted. Less than 15 minutes after the break, Ludovic Lacay played his last hand. Flop was 21.45<\/strong><\/p>\n Big pot for ElkY. There was a big pot on the flop already with almost 8,000 and Bertrand bet only 2,250. His opponent raised to 6,800 with only 8,000 behind. ElkY insta-shoved and we all waited 2 minutes before his opponent put the rest of his chips in the middle with Grospellier needed to improve with 21.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Players are back from the dinner break. Blinds are 200\/400 and the average stack is at 38,082. 219 players left.<\/p>\n 21.00<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the famous non-poker faces playing the WPT Amneville is Polish boxer Albert Sosnowski<\/a>.

The tournament director showed up with some numbers: the WPT Amneville is played by 542 players total. 54 players will be paid, the 54th will return home with 7,200\u20ac and this is the top 3:<\/p>\n 20.15<\/strong><\/p>\n On the flop 20.00<\/strong><\/p>\n On the flop 19.50<\/strong><\/p>\n On a On a 19.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes you just have to say “Phewwwww”. Two players were all-in before the flop with One of our PartyPoker qualifiers Laurent Ducrettet is doing pretty well.

Blinds are 150\/300 and the average stack is at 32,823.<\/p>\n 19.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Rebecca Gerin found a good hand to shove her stack on a flop Guillaume Darcourt has been eliminated as well. After he had to fold in a big pot with trip queens, he lost a big pot preflop with Queens against Ace-rag. A few hands later, he moved all-in with two pair, just to be called by a better two-pair hand. Sometimes you’re just not running good enough.<\/p>\n 18.45<\/strong><\/p>\n Philippe Ktorza just took down a big pot. The blinds were 100\/200 and three players limped. With Jean-Noel Thorel raised 625 before the flop, and Nicolas Dervaux 3-bet for 1,300. Emmanuel Schmidt then 4-bets from middle position. Thorel quickly called and looked at Dervaux who gave up. The flop was 6-2-3 and both fighters checked. On the turn, Thorel announced “All-IN”. Schmidt folded quickly and Thorel tables up Ace-King…<\/p>\n 18.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Stephane Gerin played a 80K pot. With 18.00<\/strong><\/p>\n The tournament director has just announced that we have reached more than 500 players registered in this WPT.<\/p>\n 17.50<\/strong><\/p>\n Basile Yaiche is flying! On a board Another enormous setup, and this time it’s Jim Collopy who almost got busted out. The board was 17.30<\/strong><\/p>\n A player has just been eliminated with a pair of Queens. Against Kings or Aces? No… his opponent four-bet preflop enough to put him all-in (for approx. 15K) with Meanwhile, Ludovic Lacay is still running pretty bad. However, he managed to do a really good fold with Ace-King preflop. His opponent showed two aces.<\/p>\n 16.50<\/strong><\/p>\n Two PartyPoker players are seated at the same table. Michael O’Malley just lost a pot. Three players limped and O’Malley made it 300 to go from the button. Thorel called from the small blind so did Patrick Sacrispeyre, Steven Buhler and another player.<\/p>\n The flop came 16.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Antoine Amourette eliminated. The runner-up of the Grand Prix de Paris left the room just before the break. He shoved with a flush draw and got called by a better flush draw. He caught a miracle pair on the turn but the flush came on the river, sending him into the rail.<\/p>\n 16.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Small beat for Hugo Lemaire. On the board On certain tables, the action is already a little bit crazy. On the river, two players were on showdown on a 20K pot. The first one showed a fourth pair and the second one a second pair, enough to take the pot.<\/p>\n 15.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Bruno Fitoussi eliminated! Fitoussi was one of the men who worked to get the WPT to be in Amneville, and he’s not really rewarded for this. He had a set of fives on a connected board and Barbara Martinez had a flopped straight.<\/p>\n 15.10<\/strong><\/p>\n Ludovic Lacay takes a hit. After a preflop raise, Lacay bet 525 on a We have some pretty good looking tables today, let’s take a look :<\/p>\n Table 1: Jean-No\u00eal Thorel, Nicolas Dervaux, Patrick Sacrispeyre, Francky Cherfils 14.50<\/strong><\/p>\n 231 players are in today.

Among us were a bunch of very good players like Marc Inizan, Adrien Allain, Jean-Paul Pasqualini, Nicolas Levi, Arnaud Mattern and Jake Cody. We also saw a lot of online qualifiers, some of them had a really good day.<\/p>\n Some of the best hands of the day:<\/p>\n Of course, some “crazy” bluffs like the overbet all-in of Arnaud Mattern who got his opponent to fold with… six-high.<\/p>\n We also had proof of the good run of Nicols Levi who managed to build a nice stack despite making some mistakes (like the 4-bet with AJ against the AK of a PartyPoker qualifier).<\/p>\n We don’t know exactly what is responsible : the late night or the aggressive image that Adrien Allain has, but he got a huge pot when his AK flopped the nut straight and his opponent moved all-in for more than 80 blinds with one pair and a straight draw.<\/p>\n Tomorrow, it is going to be a great long day too with the presence of Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier who showed up today and got the attention of the whole room.<\/p>\n Also, we’ll see Ludovic Lacay, Antony Lellouche and a bunch of great international pros.

After a bad beat, he went down to 15,000 chips but got back quickly to 25,000 without showdown. Shortly after, he was in a coin-flip with AK against Queens and caught two aces on the board to double up. He’s now around 60,000.<\/p>\n Adrien Allain took down a very big pot. Holding AK, he found the perfect flop 01.20<\/strong><\/p>\n Marc “Loscta” Inizan is in a good shape. He has 110,000 stack and seems well-prepared to make another deep-run. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n While his table was breaking, Leo Truche played his last hand of the tournament. The flop showed 00.40<\/strong><\/p>\n Two PartyPoker qualifiers busted out recently. First, it was Romain Gravisse who moved all his chips in the middle with a pair of tens. His opponent showed up with a pair of Queens and the best hand held up.<\/p>\n Next, it was Sylvain Pruvost who faced a really aggressive player and decided to 4-bet for his entire stack with AQ. He ran into aces and got no help.<\/p>\n Big setup against Jake Cody. The cut-off raised to 2,500 and Julie Marjollet moved all-in for 19,000. Cody pushed from the big blind, as well as the cut-off behind.<\/p>\n Three-way showdown : Aces remained in front and Cody took a serious hit. He was eliminated a few minutes later with 00.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Benjamin Pollak won a good pot on a Jean-Fran\u00e7ois “jeffonx” Hemmer, PartyPoker qualifier, just lost a few thousands in a bad setup. He flopped a flush with 23.30<\/strong><\/p>\n We are on a 15 minute break. 179 players remain, the average stack is 44245 and the blinds are 400\/800.<\/p>\n 23.00<\/strong><\/p>\n Ludivine Gransart, the actual chip-leader, is on a rush. She just eliminated one player by forcing him to play a coin-flip on a 22.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Michael Sebban just lost a big pot when he folded on the river against an aggressive opponent. A played limped and Michael raised from the button with Turn was a 22.00<\/strong><\/p>\n “Ronando29” remains very active at his table. He has got the position on the actual chip-leader of the table, Nicolas Levi. He raised to 900 preflop and got re-raised. No problem as he put 8600 in the middle to make his opponent fold. He showed a 4 of spade…<\/p>\n A few orbits later, new raise from “Ronando” and again he got re-raised. This time, it was Nicolas Levi from the big blind waking up to make a 4bet. “Ronando” folded and the original re-raiser 5-bet for 19,200. Levi quickly folded showing a 4… “That doesn’t work anymore??”<\/p>\n A few hands later, Nicolas Levi squeezes three limped with a 2,125 raise from the cut-off. The online qualifier from PartyPoker Jerome Dubos re-raised to six thousands total. Levi went into the tank, he was way ahead of his opponent by chips and eventually put 50K in the middle as a 4-bet.

On the turn, there was 15K in the middle and the Frenchman moved all-in for 19K total. The board was 20.00<\/strong><\/p>\n With the introduced antes, the stacks began to fly in the air, and two French players made some risky moves within few minutes. Nicolas Levi just moved all-in on a Following this, Arnaud Mattern raised all-in on a 7500 bet and his opponent insta-folded. A good win for Arnaud, who can now breath easily!<\/p>\n 19.50<\/strong><\/p>\n Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier just arrived in the casino and started doing some interviews and photos. He will be one of the most famous players to play tomorrow on day 1B.<\/p>\n 19.30 <\/strong><\/p>\n A pretty bad setup for Thomas Gandarinho.

Unfortunately for him, Marc showed an ace for sweet quads.<\/p>\n 15.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Some players are not afraid to show big bluffs in the early stages of the tournament.

John Watrin, Partypoker qualifier, made a really good start by taking down a healthy pot of more that 15K.<\/p>\n On a board He mucked instantly when John showed a pair of Kings for the full house.<\/p>\n 13.40<\/strong><\/p>\n Here we go!
