Another Scalp for Romero

Niveau 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
James Romero
James Romero

James Romero has no qualms continuing the seat open bonanza over at table 1, as he just busted another player to move up to 1.6 million in chips. On a {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, it was Marco Reggini who checked and Romero who bet 25,000. Reggini check-raised all in for 152,000 and Romero called it off.

Marco Reggini: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
James Romero: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

As spoilered by the lead, the turn {7-Diamonds} and river {2-Clubs} would end up being Reggini's final cards in this tournament, while Romero overtook Schemion on the leaderboard.

Martini Clashes With Schemion

Niveau 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Julien Martini
Julien Martini

At one of the corner tables in the Salle des Etoiles, two of the biggest names in the field clashed in a three-bet pot. Ole Schemion, who already claimed five trophies at previous EPT's in Monte Carlo, raised it up from middle position and PSPC runner-up Julien Martini three-bet him from the cutoff. Schemion came along with the call.

The flop came down {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Schemion checked. Martini bet 36,000, Schemion check-raised to 90,000, and Martini called. The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and Schemion shoved all in with superior stack, more than enough to put Martini to the test for his remaining 200,000.

The Frenchman thought for two minutes before calling it off for his tournament life.

Julien Martini: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Ole Schemion: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Schemion had flopped a set to take a commanding lead in the hand, and Martini needed to catch an eight, jack, or king if he was to survive. The {10-Spades} on the river was neither and he was forced to make his way to the exit. With the hand, Schemion soared over a million in chips to pad his chip lead even further.

Salter Busts to Schiano

Niveau 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jack Salter
Jack Salter

Jack Salter had three-bet and folded against the four-bet shove of Stefano Schiano and both would tangle again in a big pot. It all escalated on the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop when Salter ended up all in and at risk in need of running outs to avoid the elimination.

Jack Salter: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Stefano Schiano: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The {6-Clubs} turn sealed the fate of Salter and the {10-Clubs} river ended his tournament, while Schiano soared to a big stack.

Two for Bendinelli

Niveau 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alisa Sibgatova
Alisa Sibgatova

In a pot that already contained nearly 200,000, action was between Giuliano Bendinelli in the small blind and Bruno Caron on the button. With the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds} board completed, Bendinelli shoved his remaining 160,000 or so in the middle. Caron, with about 127,000 behind, thought for around a minute before folding his hand.

A few hands later, Bendinelli raised in late position and Alisa Sibgatova committed her final few big blinds to the pot after him. Bendinelli paid off the small amount to put the Russian at risk.

Alisa Sibgatova: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Giuliano Bendinelli: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts} board left no doubt who'd walk away as the winner and Sibgatova said her goodbyes.

Ropert Flushes Alt in Bigger Pot

Niveau 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Corentin Ropert
Corentin Ropert

Dinesh Alt took a big hit in the final hand of Day 1b and suffered the final blow in a bigger pot early into Day 2 as he fell victim to the early hot run of Corentin Ropert. After a raise by Ropert and a call by Alt on the button, it was Ropert that check-jammed the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop and Alt called.

Dinesh Alt: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Corentin Ropert: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Ropert had a gutshot straight flush draw, and while the {6-Clubs} bricked, the {5-Hearts} river improved the Frenchman to a flush and sent Alt to the rail.

€1,100 French National Championship Continues at Noon; Schemion Leads the Way

Ole Schemion Leads the Way
Ole Schemion Leads the Way

With three starting flights in the books, the field for the €1,100 French National Championship at the 2019 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour has been set. A total of 1,425 entries were made (897 unique, 528 reentries), with 214 of them finding a bag at the end of their respective flights.

Each of the Day 1s played down until the bubble had burst, meaning everyone left in the field will walk away with a Monegasque flag added to their Hendon Mob pages. The official prize pool and payouts will be announced shortly after the start.

On top is none other than German juggernaut Ole Schemion, who bagged the biggest stack of them all on Day 1b. Schemion is arguably the most successful player in EPT Monte Carlo history, with five outright wins including the 2016 Super High Roller title. Schemion will return with 782,000 in chips, or 156 big blinds. Josep Maria Galindo Lopez (770,000) and Sam Higgs (631,000) round out the top three.

PokerStars ambassador and PSPC champ Ramon Collilas bagged the chip lead on Day 1c and returns as sixth overall (606,000). Collilas' flight ran deep into the night yesterday, and it remains to be seen how he and the other survivors will act on little sleep as play already resumes at noon local time in Le Sporting at the Monte Carlo Bay Casino & Hotel. Blinds will resume in level 16 (2,500/5,000), as that was the level that saw play end of Day 1a. Levels will be 60 minutes throughout the remainder of the tournament and play will continue until the end of level 26, which is around 00:30 local time.

PokerNews will be on the floor as the French National Championship plays down to the final table, so be sure to check back regularly for all live updates from the 2019 EPT Monte Carlo.
