Une petite dizaine de Français passent le Jour 1A, Pierre Calamusa et Abou Sy bustos
Niveau 5
: 250/500, 75 ante
10.000$, 50 000 jetons, des niveaux de 120 minutes et un rêve... devenir champion du monde de poker tout en encaissant 8 millions de dollars !
795 joueurs ont participé au Jour 1A du Main Event des World Series Of Poker, dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche dans l'Amazon et la Brasilia Room du Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, la meilleure affluence sur une journée d'ouverture depuis 2013. Les joueurs tentant de se qualifier par un satellite se comptent pas milliers dans l'enceinte du Rio, l'affluence du tournoi de l'année devrait encore tourner autour des 6700 participants. La barre des 7000 entrants pourrait être effacée pour la première fois depuis 2010 (7,319 joueurs).
Champion du Monde en titre, Qui Nguyen a franchi l'obstacle en emballant 96 700 jetons. Deux autres vainqueurs du Main Event WSOP étaient en lice aussi et Martin Jacobson a souffert. Le Suédois est tombé à 2000 jetons avant de se retrouver à tapis avec 9 blindes dans le dernier niveau de la journée. Protégé par sa bonne étoile, le vainqueur 2014 a fait carré avec 
pour craquer les 
de son adversaire tricolore, Jérôme Arnould, et finir à 36 800 jetons quelques minutes plus tard.
Vainqueur en 2008, Jerry Yang n'a pas eu cette chance. L'Américain a rejoint le rail tout comme Leon Tsoukernik, Matt Savage, Blake Bohn, Anthony Spinella, Sorel Mizzi, Dan Shak, Mark Teltscher, Brock Parker, Nadar Kakhmazov, Mike Noori ou encore les Français Pierre Calamusa et Abou Sy.
Ca s'est mieux passé en revanche pour Romain Lefebvre (94 000), Benjamin Nicolas [Removed:372] (78 800), [Removed:264] (69 000) [Removed:167] (64 325), Jorge Alberdi (58 800), Maxime Adam (45 100), Pierre Merlin (43 000), Jérôme Arnould (35 000) et Benoît Lam (26 500) puisque le tapis de départ garantit encore 50 blindes en début de Jour 2. Ces 9 Français font partie des 550 survivants (chiffre non officiel, ndlr) de la première journée d'ouverture.
Le Top 5 du Jour 1A
Morten Mortensen DK 276,000
Sam Grafton GB 231,600
Griffin Abel US 226,000
Jonathan Little US 211,300
David Eldridge US 207,000
La première journée a été dominée par deux joueurs européens, le Danois Morten Mortensen et le Britannique Sam Grafton. Mortensen, qui a cumulé plus d'un million de dollars de gains en carrière, a dépassé Grafton dans le dernier niveau, multipliant son tapis de départ par 9 pour terminer à 276 000 jetons. Son plus proche poursuivant n'a lui que multiplié son starting stack par un peu moins de 8 pour emballer 231 600 chips et vécu "une journée de rêve" selon ses propres termes. Très belle prestation aussi du professionnel Jonathan Little qui ensache 7 tapis de départ.
Michael Ravn, Sergi Reixach, Rifat Palevic et Barny Boatman sont passés avec plus de 5 tapis de départ. Sergio Castelluccio, Anatoly Filatov, Oleksii Khoroshenin, Steven van Zadelhoff, Faraz Jaka seront au Jour 2 aussi avec au moins 4 tapis de départ. Maxim Lykov, Richard Seymour, Donnacha O'Dea, Barry Shulman, Jon Turner, Patrick Leonard, Philippe D'autueil, Billy Baxter et Mike Matusow ont aussi franchi l'obstacle en multipliant leur tapis par 3.
Matt Ashton, Hoyt Corkins, Manuel Sadornil, Josh Arieh, Phil Laak, Mats Karlsson, Pim de Goede, Mark Radoja, Ognjen Sekularac, Tom Schneider, Pascal Lefrancois, Chris Hunichen ont aussi validé leur ticket pour la suite du tournoi.
Le Jour 1B devrait voir plus de joueurs tenter de vivre leur rêve de succéder au palmarès à des joueurs comme Stu Ungar, Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson ou encore Jonathan Duhamel. La partie débute à 20 heures, dimanche, en direct sur PokerNews.
Pro or amateur today we wake up with the same dream. To become the world champion of the $10k World Series of Poker… https://t.co/kyga3ybVxC

Niveau 5
: 250/500, 75 ante
Doug Polk, in the cutoff, opened to 1,200. Mike Matusow three-bet to 2,600 on the button. Polk called. The flop came 
and was checked through to the 
turn and river. Polk checked.
''I have to look to see if I can bet,'' commented Matusow.
''It's 50/50'' answered Polk.
Matusow peeked at his cards and threw in a bet of 1,600. After a few seconds of reflection and of talking to Matusow without getting an answer, Polk continued, ''I'm such a nice guy, I am gonna pay you off''. He proceeded to call.
''I have ace-high'' said Matusow, tabling 
. Polk showed 
, laughed, and commented, ''This was a beautiful bet!'' raking in the pot.

Yang No More
Niveau 5
: 250/500, 75 ante
After previously escaping from elimination, Jerry Yang failed to hold up in his next all-in showdown. The camera crews were just finished filming, and the board was already rushed away with Steven Warburton stacking chips in the nine seat.
Apparently, it was a three-way all in with Warburton as shortest stack and pocket jacks. Yang had the second-biggest stack and 
, while a third player in the hand had pocket nines. Warburton scored a triple-up, while Yang found no help for the smaller side pot to join the rail in the last level of the night.
