Farah Loses Half His Stack With Aces

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The pot had grown to a massive 27,000 when Gael Djenkal bet 5,000 on the completed board of 76108Q from under the gun. His opponent was Elie Farah in the hijack, who quickly called.

Djenkal tabled 76 for bottom two pair. It was enough to drag the huge pot, as a frustrated Farah flung open his AA for a no-good overpair.

Ivarsson Plays It Tricky

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Alexander Ivarsson had open-raised under the gun when Christophe Morbee three-bet to 1,100 in the cutoff. It folded back to Ivarsson, who obliged with a call.

Morbee continued for 900 on the 53J flop, which Ivarsson check-called. Ivarsson then checked again on the A turn, seeing Morbee size up to 1,400.

Ivarsson went for a raise this time, flicking in 5,400 chips. Morbee weighed his options a bit, but ultimately decided to forfeit the pot by mucking his cards.

Martinsson Scores the First Knockout

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Adam Martinsson
Adam Martinsson

More than 15,000 was already in the middle as Adam Martinsson and Henri Hassid went to the turn on a board of 5Q27. Martinsson then bet 9,500 from the hijack, and Hassid called in the big blind.

The river was the 9 and Martinsson moved all in. Hassid instantly pushed forward the rest of his 10,000, and Martinsson turned over 22 for a set.

"Aces?" another tablemate asked Hassid as he tossed his cards into the muck and got up from his seat. The dealer eventually revealed KQ, and Hassid became the first casualty of the day.
