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 {9-}{9-} pour craquer les {a-}{a-} 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.

Sam Grafton

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.

Morten Mortensen Claims Chip Lead in Final Hand

Niveau 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Morten Mortensen
Morten Mortensen

In the final hand of the day, Morten Mortensen dragged a monster pot which gave him the end-of-day chip lead. The pot was already up over 35,000 as the board showed {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Mortensen bet 20,000, and his opponent went in the tank. Eventually, he moved all in for 52,000, and Mortensen called with lightning speed.

Morten Mortensen: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Mortensen had his opponent drawing dead with the nut straight, making the {9-Clubs} river meaningless. With the pot of more than 100,000 chips, Mortensen ended the day as the chip leader with 276,000.

Martin Jacobson

Martin Jacobson got his last 7,050 in from middle position and was called by the player on his immediate left.

Jacobson: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The dealer turned over the {3-Clubs} in the window, and it was followed by the {9-Clubs} and the {9-Diamonds}, giving the 2014 Main Event Champ quads.

"Don't worry, you're live," someone joked to the player with aces.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, so that was no longer true, and the river was the {j-Spades}.

Rob Heath raised to 1,000 from late position, and Doug Polk three-bet to 3,200. The player in the big blind snap-called, and Heath called, as well.

The flop came {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and all three players checked. The turn was the {3-Spades}, and all three players checked to the {7-Clubs} on the river. The big blind checked for a third time, and Heath bet 4,500. Polk called, and the big blind folded.

Heath tabled {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a set of tens and immediately asked, "Do you have spades?"

Mike Matusow unleashed a hearty laugh and said, "That was f***ing funny. That made my f***ing day."

Polk replied that he did not have spades and mucked his cards.

"I need to start making more sets," said Polk. "That's where the money is!" he laughed.

With about 9,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Doug Polk checked from late position. Mike Matusow was in the hijack and bet 3,400. Polk thought for a moment and called.

The river was the {9-Clubs}, and Polk checked. Matusow quickly checked back, and Polk tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a flush. Matusow flashed his hand to Polk and quickly tossed his cards into the muck.

As Polk was raking in the pot, a player at the table behind shouted out, "Matusow blowup?!" The few players who overheard it had a chuckle, and Matusow calmly received his next hand.

Sebastian Langrock

Germany's Sebastian Langrock has had quite the week, as he just won his first WSOP gold bracelet after taking down Event #64: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em/Pot Limit Omaha - 8 Handed for $268,555.

In the heads-up match, Langrock defeated well-known pro and WSOP bracelet winner Ryan Laplante, who has a title from winning the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha event in 2015. Langrock is a pro himself and has spent the last two years specializing in pot-limit Omaha, learning from some of the top players in the industry.

Back in 2013, Langrock won the German version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and explained that he used that money as his poker bankroll and has been making a living playing poker ever since.

Langrock has taken his seat in the Main Event today and will be making a run at the most prestigious title in poker.

In a hand that occurred on the live stream, Qui Nguyen bet 1,500 with {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} on an {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop. One player with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} called, and Partipilo raised to 3,500 with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Short on chips, Leon Tsoukernik put his last 2,625 in the hand after he moved in and got no callers. A player in the small blind called with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was leading Tsoukernik's {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Things looked grim for the King's Casino owner after an {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, but the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} runout gave him a winning straight.

Boatman Runs Over the Table

Barny Boatman Early Chip Leader of Day 1a

Iraj Parvizi managed to spin up his stack to 40,000 again, but that has since vanished to zero while Barny Boatman was stacking a ton of chips. According to Boatman, he took the entire stack of Parvizi and the Brit was kind enough to share the details.

Parvizi raised to 450 from middle position and Brooks Floyd called on the button, Boatman raised to 1,800 in the big blind and both opponents called. On the {6-}{4-}{2-} flop, all three players checked and an {8-} appeared on the turn. Boatman bet 1,800 and Parvizi raised to 7,000, Floyd folded and Boatman called.

After the {Q-} river, Boatman checked and Parvizi bet 15,000 before Boatman moved all in and was called. Boatman showed {7-}{5-} for a straight and Parvizi had pocket eights for a set to hit the rail.

Xiangdong Jiang had busted earlier on the table and Boatman also dominated the last few hands of the first level. Boatman defended his big blind to a raise by Floyd on the button and bet the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop for 600, Floyd called and Sergon Toma in the small blind folded. On the {9-Hearts} turn, Boatman bet 1,100 and was called before betting the {4-Diamonds} river for 3,000. Floyd called and was shown {8-Hearts}{4-Spades} for trips fours by Boatman.

Last but not least, Boatman bet the {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts} turn for 1,300 and Toma called before Toma bet the {7-Diamonds} on the river for 1,000. Boatman raised to 3,000 and Toma called, showed a jack. Boatman had that beat with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for trips tens and raked in another pot.
