Le Jour 3 du Main Event PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® à 5300€ l'entrée n'a finalement duré que 4 niveaux de 90 minutes. Suffisant pour faire passer le field de 134 joueurs à 45 rescapés.

26 Français étaient en lice au départ de la journée, mardi à midi, et s'il y a eu des dégâts, un tricolore s'est particulièrement débrouillé. Sans ligne Hendon Mob, mais aux avant-postes depuis le Jour 1, le Bleu Michael Kolkowicz (en photo ci-dessous) est en tête du chipcount avec un gain garanti de 15 420€. Il s'est assuré le commandement en éliminant son compatriote Jérôme L'Hostis (50e) en fin de journée !

Kolkowicz a largement franchi le million de jetons (144bb), ses deux plus proches poursuivants sont les seuls joueurs du tournoi dans ce cas. Vainqueur WPT, Stefan Schillhabel est deuxième du classement provisoire avec 1,38 million de jetons alors que la partie reprendra sur les blindes 5000-10000 (1000). L'Allemand aura aussi la chance d'avoir le Français juste à sa droite, mercredi à partir de midi.

Vainqueur des deux dernières mains de la journée, le Belge Davidi Kitai est lui aussi dans le trio de tête avec 1,08 million et 108 blindes !

Avec 89 sortant en 360 minutes de jeu, les croupiers ont bien travaillé. Du côté des tricolores, Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes (54e), Fabrice Soulier (55e), Geoffroy Combette (56e), Franck Makaci (61e) Benoit Lam (66e), Xavier Rouayroux (68e) ont rendu les armes pour 12 080€. C'est aussi terminé pour le runner-up du National PSC Monte-Carlo Romain Lewis (72e), Mickael Mamoun (85e), Roger Tondeur (87e) et Isabel Baltazar (98e) qui encaissent 9 540€.

La chute a été plus rapide encore pour Johan Guilbert (107e), Carole Sagoura (109e), Jean-Jacques Zeitoun (117e), Jimmy Guerrero (124e), Julian Feriolo (127e) et Alexandre Luneau (131e) tous éliminés en début de journée pour 7 580€.

Il reste donc 9 tricolores en course pour les 500 800€ promis au gagnant mais de nombreuses tête de séries ont aussi été éliminées. Daniel Negreanu, Chris Vogelsang, Jason Wheeler, Igor Yaroshevskyy, Andreas Hoivod, Faraz Jaka, Mark telscher, Patrik Antonius, Nick Petrangelo, Martin Jacobson, Daniel Dvoress, Celina Lin, Luke Schwartz, Maria Ho, Liv Boeree ou encore Rocco Palumbo ont rejoint la charrette des bustos lors du Jour 3.

Negreanu et Antonius bustos, ElkY et Kitai au top

Du côté des bonnes nouvelles, il faut chercher du côté de Bertrand Grospellier. Le Team Pro PokerStars s'est fait livrer quand il avait deux beaux As par Hossein Ensan (71bb) et il sera donc au Jour 4 avec 77 blindes... en compagnie de Romain Nardin (58bb) qui l'a rejoint en table télévisée en fin de journée. Ce n'était pas gagné pour celui qui est expatrié à Malte puisqu'il repartait avec moins de 10 blindes en sa possession.

Ce duo n'est donc pas le mieux placé du coté des Français et ça pousse derrière puisque Paul-François Tedeschi disposera lui de 56 blindes à la reprise. Avec 51 blindes pour le Jour 4, Karim Souaid n'est pas mal placé non plus. Tout roule aussi pour Sergio Aido (72bb), Alex Papazian (67bb), Jeff Hakim (51bb), Sebastien Malec (51bb). Avec 39 blindes, le Belge Arne Coulier compte bien marcher dans les traces de Davidi lors du Jour 4 lui aussi.

Kolkowicz Rivers Full House to Eliminate L'Hostis

Niveau 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jerome L'Hostis
Jerome L'Hostis

Jerome L'Hostis has been the first player above one million chips, but this has now been reduced to zero after a big clash with Michael Kolkowicz.

It was L'Hostis that raised from under the gun and Kolkowicz called from one seat over, Raffaele Sorrentino also called in the big blind. On the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop, Sorrentino checked and so did L'Hostis. Kolkowicz bet 44,000 and that resulted in a fold from Sorrentino and a call from L'Hostis.

Kolkowicz checked the stack of his opponent before the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn, and L'Hostis then checked. Kolkowicz made it 100,000 to go and faced the check-raise all in for 308,000 by L'Hostis soon after. It took more than two minutes and Kolkowicz then called while saying "I know I am behind, but there are too many chips in the middle" in French.

Jerome L'Hostis: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Michael Kolkowicz: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {J-Hearts} fell on the river to give Kolkowicz a full house and he regained the lead from table neighbor Stefan Schillhabel.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated

Niveau 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Team PokerStars Pro is down to just Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier as Daniel Negreanu's run in the PokerStars Championship Main Event ended in 51st place.

Negreanu opened to 18.000 from the cutoff and Hossein Ensan defended his big blind. The flop was {J-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Ensan checked. Negreanu bet 22,000 and Ensan responded with a quick check-raise to 55,000.

"Make it 100k," said Negreanu as he put in the corresponding amount. Ensan quickly went all in and Negreanu called his remaining 124,000 off.

"You got something good?" Negreanu asked.

"Set," answered Ensan.

"Set? How big? Not good" laughed Negreanu, who knew he was drawing nearly dead.

Daniel Negreanu: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Hossein Ensan: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The {K-Diamonds} on the turn ended it all for the Canadian superstar, who received €12,080 for his 51st place. "Good luck my friend," he told Ensan as he left the table.

Ensan Missteps; ElkY Skyrockets

Niveau 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

In the last hand before the break, Bertrand "ElKY" Grospellier opened to 13,000 on the button and Marius-Catalin Pertea called from the small blind. Hossein Ensan three-bet to 31,000 from the big blind. Grospellier took his time before four-betting to 82,000 and Pertea got out of the way.

It took Ensan not even two seconds before announcing all-in. ElkY beat him to the pot and Ensan's face went aghast.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Hossein Ensan: {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The EPT12 Prague winner made a big misstep and was about to pay dearly for it in an 800k pot. With just 15% equity, Ensan needed a miracle but didn't find one on a {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board.

The German had to fork over nearly 400,000 of his stack to the French Team PokerStars Pro, who enters the third break as one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Massive Clash Vaults Schillhabel to the Top

Niveau 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

Nicolas Fuentes Vidal had previously doubled through Stefan Schillhabel and both were at it again in a raising war with both players at over half a million in chips. Picking up the action on a squeeze to 113,000 by Schillhabel, Vidal reraised from one seat over for more than 250,000 and Schillhabel then shoved, Vidal called.

Stefan Schillhabel: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Nicolas Fuentes Vidal: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} was a huge sweat for Schillhabel despite getting it in with the best hand, however, the {7-Spades} turn and {2-Spades} river both blanked. Schillhabel's stack was counted for 585,000 and Vidal had 532,000 to join the rail with a story to tell.

ElkY Picks Up Aces, Doubles Through Negreanu

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

At the TV table, Hossein Ensan opened to 12,000 in early position and Daniel Negreanu called on the button. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier went all in for 143,000 from the big blind and Ensan folded.

"I'll gamble with you, bud" quipped Negreanu before making the call.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}
Daniel Negreanu: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

"Club, club!" cheered Negreanu after the {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, which left him drawing very slim. The {7-Spades} on the turn sealed the double for ElkY, making the {10-Hearts} river meaningless. ElkY is back at 50 big blinds.

After a raise by Jason Wheeler, table big stack Jerome L'Hostis three-bet to 42,000 out of the big blind. Wheeler moved all in and L'Hostis called while the camera crews headed to the table to film the action.

Jason Wheeler: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Jerome L'Hostis: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

After a run out of {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Wheeler's queens failed to hold up, and L'Hostis became the first player to claim more than one million in chips.

Nardin Busts Petrangelo and Jacobson in Massive Pot

Niveau 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

What a day for Romain Nardin! The French online wizard started the day with 35,500, just seven big blinds. Compare that to Nick Petrangelo, who started the day as the chipleader with 562,000. After two levels however, the Frenchman is in charge and Petrangelo is out of the tournament.

After a raise to 11,500, Martin Jacobson three-bet to 40,000, nearly all his remaining chips. Petrangelo flat-called the reraise, Nardin put in a four-bet and Jacobson called with his remaining stack.

Petrangelo wasn't done yet, as the American tournament crusher five-bet shoved all in for 350,000. Nardin wasn't backing down and called Petrangelo's shove, suddenly creating the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Romain Nardin: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Nick Petrangelo: {J-}{J-}
Martin Jacobson: {10-}{10-}

Petrangelo kept the lead in the massive pot after the dealer fanned out a low flop of {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} The {5-Spades} on the turn was safe as well for the American. As if it was scripted, the {A-Spades} fell on the river and just like that, the huge pot got shipped to Nardin.

Jacobson out, Petrangelo out. Wow!
