Petakovich Provides First Casualty of Day 1a

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The action was caught when the cards were being swept away, but with some chips already in the middle, Daniel Lellouche had put in his final 14,000 on a board of A♦10♣J♦5♣3♣.

Milos Petakovic was the other player in the hand, and his A♣K♣ for the nut flush beat the KxQx of Lellouche, who had flopped a straight.

Lellouche was dismayed and let out some stern words in his native French before storming off as the first bust-out of the EPT Paris Main Event.

Rabahie Crosses Six Figures

Livello 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Michael Kramer, under the gun, got his stack of little more than 30,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 6♥5♥6♦ against Fouad Rabahie in the big blind.

Michael Kramer: A♥A♣
Fouad Rabahie: 10♥6♠

Kramer's aces were no match against the flopped trips of Rabahie, who won yet another pot when the board ran out 9♠7♣.

Kramer sighed as he went to the exit, while Rabahie thanked the dealer for his good fortunes.

Schulz Pulls on Beresford's Udders

Livello 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Robert Schulz opened to 800 from early position and was called by Conor Beresford from middle position. Fabrice Bigot three-bet to 2,800 from the button and saw both players call.

The 9♠6♠3♣ flop checked through to the 8♦ turn. Schulz led out for 3,000, and only Beresford called.

Schulz fired out another 5,000 on the 2♦ river, and after some brief deliberation, Beresford called.

Schulz tabled 6♥6♦ for a set of sixes.

"Absolutely milked," chuffed Beresford as he mucked his cards. "I thought you'd have been greedier."

However, a few moments later, Beresford was seen leaving his seat as his stack was collected by a player at his table.

After an open-raise to 1,300 and some calls, Hans Bosman made it 6,700 to go from the big blind. The action then folded to Mehmet Kolgu, one of the initial callers, in middle position, who reraised to 25,000, enough to put Bosman all in.

Bosman made a quick call and the cards went on their backs.

Hans Bosman: A♣Q♥
Mehmet Kolgu: A♠K♣

The 9♣10♥10♣8♠5♣ board could not save Bosman despite the flopped chop outs. He quickly departed while Kolgu chipped up to three starting stacks.

Mameche Among Leaders

Livello 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

After some prior preflop action, Adrian Chabbi jammed all in from the big blind for 16,800. Slimane Mameche made the call from under the under the gun, while the other players involved folded their cards.

Adrian Chabbi: A♦J♦
Slimane Mameche: Q♠Q♥

Mameche hit a set on the 7♥J♥Q♣ flop, and the 5♦ turn locked up the pot. The 3♣ river was meaningless, and Chabbi quickly vacated the tournament room while Mameche neared a six-figure stack.

Fruet Falls to Lee

Livello 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With a pot of around 25,000 to the 10♥8♥2♣J♣ turn, Alessandro Fruet pushed all-in out of the big blind and Hwany Lee beat him into the pot from the under-the-gun position.

Alessandro Fruet: A♦K♣
Hwany Lee: J♥J♠

"Of course," another player exclaimed when they saw the cards in showdown. Fruet needed a queen to survive but the K♥ river was too little too late. Both stacks were counted and the 14,600 of Fruet were covered by Lee.

Christy Loses Big Flip

Livello 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Woody Christy had open-raised from early position when Samuel Fournier made it 2,900 to go from the hijack. Andrei Konopelko and Sabare Atmani called cold in the blinds, after which Christy jammed all in for 30,900.

Fournier quickly got out of the way and Konopelko eventually followed suit. Atmani, however, stuck in a call with the bigger stack and the cards were turned over.

Woody Christy: A♠K♠
Sabare Atmani: 4♥4♦

The 10♣7♣8♦10♥ runout brought some counterfeit outs for Christy, but the Q♦ river bricked regardless. He took his leave while Atmani chipped up to over 150 big blinds.
