Well, even though the player possess a breathe easy 20k starting stack, we've still managed to lose Magide Kerzazi, who called a pre-flop re-raise of 6,400 with Queens and got the rest in, inevitably, on the raggy Flop. Of course, his opponent had Aces and swiftly doubled up.

Breaktime news from Mr Colclough, but don't get too excited...

"I'm on 20,700, played just the one pot, calling a small raise with K-Q and then check-calling A Queen high flop and a blank Turn, before checking it down on the end to win the pot. I think he gave me around 1,500 in total."

Down to 65, Jon Poujade the latest Lemming to fall.

Not too much action at the moment, as you'd expect from a 20k event with 68 players on Day 1, the last half decent pot I caught sight of being one that Warsaw EPT runner-up Farid Meraghni took down with a 4k bet on a Ks 4c 8c 2s.

However, I did get a snap of Copenhagen EPT 2006 Champ Mads Andersen (cough).

And just as I'm moaning about the lack of breath-taking non-stop action (my wrists shall be slapped), I stumble upon a sudden exit.

As I trundled over innocently to Table 6, I had a feeling something was about to go down when I spotted 4k in the pot and the dealer announcing '4 handed pot (although in French) as he dealt out the Kd Tc 4s Flop.

Shaoul Derdugo checks, Gilbert Chahine checks, Nouel Antoine bets 1k and Xavier Laszc fold.

Then, out of the blue like a tikay pot scoop, Dedugo made it 3k, Antoine pushed all-in and Dedugo called without hesitation.

Dedugo = Kh Th

Antoine = Kd Kc

Turn = Jh

River = Qc

Quick Brit check:

Dave Colclough -- 29k
Marc Goodwin -- 22k
John Kabbaj -- 29k


Title: Re: Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on May 06, 2007, 08:56:41 PM
Table Goodwin:

Csaba Kuremszki -- 20,425
Z Illia -- 39,550
Jan Boye -- 17,050
Mateyboy -- 24,350
Walid Bouhabib -- 22,550
PP Ruscalla -- 31,875
Jonas Molander -- 6,250

Table Kabbaj:

Jean Noel Thurel -- 17,050
Antonius Gueorguieu -- 37,825
Tony Cascarino -- 18,800
John Kabbaj -- 9,000
James Campbell -- 14,650
Nichlas Saarisilta -- 12,500
Jani Sointua -- 3,200
Mateyboy -- 19,975
Johan Storakers -- 19,325

As I was acculmulating chip counts, John Kabbaj dropped down to that paltry 9k at the hands of Seat 2, Antonius Gueorguieu (boy, that's a lot of vowels!).

Pretty standard to be honest...

John = Ahrt Aspades

Antonius = Qd Qc

Flop = Th Qh 7h

Antonius bet 1.8k, John made it 5k, Antonius pushed for 12,850 more and John called, albeit hesitantly and half-aware that he'd probably had to catch.

Turn = 3d

River = 6s

Meanwhile, Jared Davis, who I believe could be an American player, has just seen his chips go sailing over to Maurice Atlani. Didn't quite see how it panned out, but when I joined the board read 7s 3s Kh 9s Ts and Maurice had As Kd to Jared's Ks Qs.

Jared, who's now down to just 4.8k as a result, looked pretty pissed off, so I'm guessing all the spondoolies went in before that testical crushing River.


Title: Re: Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on May 06, 2007, 09:29:28 PM
Tony Cascarino is down to 4.7k.

Flop = Jd 9s 4s

Tony checked, Jean bet 2k, Tony made it 7k, Jean pushed for another 5k

Jean Noel Thorel = Th 4h

Tony Cascarino = Ks Qs

Turn = 6c

River = 4c

Jonas Molander has been eliminated.

Jani Sointula has also departed. Didn't catch the hand, but he was shortstacked for most of the day and failed to recover.


Title: Re: Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on May 07, 2007, 12:04:13 AM
PP Ruscalla has doubled up courtesy off Jan Boye.

Boye bet 4k into a Flop of 8s 7c Tc and Ruscalla moved all-in over the top for 25,500 more, albeit after a slight bout of Oscaritus.

Boye called instantly, leaving him with just 5k, but was dismayed to see his Queens in deep doo doo against Ruscalla's set of Tens.

7h Turn and 7d River left a couple of people wondering if the Queens has won, but the dealer quickly assured them that Tens over Sevens was the winner.


Title: Re: Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on May 07, 2007, 12:10:20 AM
Moments before that hand...

As we move into the last break of the day, Mr Cool has lost his er... cool, after Jan Boye managed to get 3.5k in pre-flop with A-9 against Marc's A-K, only for the Flop to come A-9-8 and Marc to do 26k to someone who I Marc probably deems to be a bit of a plonker in poker terms.

As a result, Marc has dropped from 66k to 40k.

Shortstacked Jan Roye (A-Qs) has doubled up in a three-way pot against PP Roscalla (A-Q) and Marc Goodwin (A-K). The board was Ace high with two diamonds, a diamond on the River giving Roye a flush... and he made sure that we all heard about it by celebrating at the top of his voice with one hell of a squeal.

---------------

Thomas Belleuvre has doubled up Mateyboy in Seat 10 with Jacks v Aces on a 9h 3h 2h Flop. Neither had a heart, Belleuvre now hacked back down to 22,100.

Brad Lipson -- 14,225
Tor Gammelgard -- 28,850
Nouel Antoine -- 49,750
Daniel Shak -- 14,350
Jason Lee -- 37,775
Michel Akrich -- 21,425
Ryad Abour -- 62,300

Kalil Rahal -- 13,125
Fabien Zanzouri -- 22,400
Turgut Guner -- 14,325

Francois Demoly -- 18,600
Daniel Donnabedian -- 14,575
Paul Testud -- 37,300
Gilbert Chahine -- 39,475

A quick scour of the room informs me that somewhere along the way we have lost Xavier Laszcz, Karim Salomouni, Jean Noel Thorel and James Campbell.


Title: Re: Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on May 07, 2007, 01:07:38 AM
Marc Goodwin is down to a rather sorrowful 4k after running Kings into Aces.

The 6-J-Q-Q-T rainbow board proving of no help.

Whilst Marc retells his tales of woe from previous hands, Samir Shakhtoor scoops in a nice pot.

-----------

Daniel Donnabedian has also doubled up with bullets, finding himself even better shape against wooly red jumper wearing Csaba Kuremszki's Big Slick.

Again, a near safe board, Jh 5d Qs 3h 7c, a Ten the only out.

Post by: snoopy1239 on May 07, 2007, 01:19:48 AM
A quick glance back at MrCool's stack informs me that he is had jumped the first hurdle of his comeback trail, now back up to 9.5k..


Title: Re: Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on May 07, 2007, 01:41:19 AM
Brian Johnson has near trebled up, all-in with an open ended straight draw on the following flop...

7d Js Th

Brian Johnson = Kd Qh

Francois Courdert = Ad Kh

Jan Boye = Qd Jh

"Give him his Ace, dealer," demands Brian.

Bosh

Turn = Ac

River = Td

Brian survives, Courdert exits.
