Guilbert Tank-Folds River

BrandonBloom

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With roughly 30,000 in the pot on a completed board, popular French poker vlogger Johan Guilbert was on the button and contemplating a decision against a bet of 20,000 by Marcin Horecki in early position.

Guilbert tried to talk to his opponent several times, but his attempts were met with silence, as Horecki stared at the board. Guilbert put his hands on his face as he continued to deliberate, and eventually, a player at the table called the clock. Before a countdown could begin, Guilbert threw his cards into the muck and shook his head, as his opponent's holdings were left a mystery.

The flop came and Yan threw in a bet of 16,000 that Cierco called.

The turn brought the and Yan continued with another bet of 30,000 that Cierco called again.

The river filled up the board and this time, Yan thought for a long while, then moved all in for about 130,000. Cierco snap-called with his last 86,200. Yan showed , but that wasn't good enough as Cierco turned over to take down the pot with a set of queens.

Anthony Cierco chipleader du Jour 1A

SandraBarbour

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The first of the two starting flights attracted 749 runners, of which 227 have secured themselves a place in Day 2.

Leading the way after ten one-hour levels of play is Anthony Cierco who built his stack from 30,000 to to an impressive 322,000 on the first day. Cierco was slowly building throughout the day but he moved to the top of the counts during the last level of the night when he managed to get full value after flopping a set of queens against David Yan’s aces.
Other players that are in prime contention after Day 1a include Youness Ait Hssain (297,000), Dimitrios Angelakos (296,000) and Jack Salter (282,500)

Some of the well-known names who took their chance and will also return for Day 2 include PokerStars Ambassadors Alejandro Lococo (165,000) and Ramon Colillas (93,500), as well as Julien Martini (148,000), defending champion Simon Brandstrom (142,500), and Kitty Kuo .

Notables who failed in their attempts to make Day 2 include PokerStars Ambassadors Parker Talbot and Sam Grafton in addition to Vanessa Kade, Jason Wheeler and Dominik Panka.

For those who haven’t used their single re-entry, they will have a chance to register on Day 1b on Tuesday, August 16, which - in terms of the structure - will be pretty much an exact replica of today, or until the start of Day 2.

As usual, the PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to bring you all the updates throughout the Main Event and the many side events so keep coming back.
