Six Français ont fait l'argent de l'Event #52 de la 48e édition des championnats du monde de poker, un tournoi en No Limit à 1500$ l'entrée. Alexandre Reard et Mat Selides sont les uniques survivants après la sortie de l'ancien champion de Foot US, Richard Seymour en 24e position qui a marqué la fin du Jour 2.

Le coverage complet de l'Event 52 1500$

Monsieur Reard n'a rien voulu lâcher, inspirer par la performance sympathique de sa femme Aurélie à Downtown. Avec 10 blindes devant lui, il devra néanmoins vite bouger à une table où il retrouvera son compatriote, muni lui de 33 blindes, ainsi que Cary Katz (12bb), Mohsin Charania (87bb), ou encore Rainer Kempe (20bb).

Tombeur du joueur NFL sur la dernière main de la journée, Samuel Phillips a dépassé sur le fil Jamie Florence pour être un des 5 joueurs au dessus du million de jetons à l'entame du Jour 3. Le field a de la gueule avec encore aussi Jason Mercier (38bb), Andy Frankenberger (44b) et Phil Collins (22bb).

Assuré de remporter 11,144$, ce beau petit monde ne visera que la victoire, le bracelet et les 364 438$ qui vont avec, à la reprise, dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi en direct sur PokerNews. Avec 1 blinde au restart, Christopher Chabris tentera un improbable comeback... one chip one chair !

Le Jour 2 avait recommencé à 9 places de l'argent et les joueurs ont pris leur temps pour tenter d'arracher un min-cash 2254$. Noah Vaillancourt termine finalement bubble-boy, éliminé par Mohsin Charania.

Dès lors, Tom Schneider, Manig Loeser, Sergi Reixach, le quadruple vainqueur WSOP Jeff Madsen, Tony Dunst, Eddy Sabat, Jesse Sylvia ou encore Barry Greenstein, Georgios Sotiropoulos, Matt Stout, Jean-Pascal Savard et Mark Dube ont tenté de monter des pions et ont rejoint le rail.

Andrey Pateychuk (45e - 7536$), Dan Heimiller (44e - 7,536$), JJ Liu (37e - 9107$), Eugene Katchalov (35e - 9,107$) ou encore Kelly Minkin (26e - 11,144$) y ont cru un peu plus mais ils ont fini par rendre les armes dans les deux derniers niveaux du jour...

Niveau 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

On a flop between Mohsin Charania and Cary Katz, both players checked. and the was dealt on the turn. Charania bet 5,000, mimicking a tactic famously used by Katz in this summer's Super High Roller Bowl, where Katz would min-bet turns. It was a tactic he used to great effect, especially on Day 1 of the tournament.

"You want to see a free card with jack-ten?" asked Katz before electing to call.

Charania checked the river, and Katz checked behind, saying, "Jack's good."

Charania shook his head and went to muck, but not before Katz turned over for ace-high. Then Charania mucked.

"You need to bet bigger!" said Katz as he raked in the small but meaningful pot.

Two-Tabling Jason Mercier

will_shill

Niveau 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When players resumed after their first break of the day there was a notable absentee from his seat. 2016 WSOP Player of the Year and five-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier was over in the Brasilia room playing in the $3,000 Limit Hold'em 6-Max Day 2 where there are 68 players remaining.

39 of them will get paid and with Mercier sitting pretty with an above-average stack in this event, he will be hoping to make the money in another tournament today.

Got Aa in vs JJ on the 2nd hand of day 2. To double up. Now in the money of the 1500 NLH
