All Changed in Last Six Hands - End of Day 1A
A veritable action frenzy somehow as the last six hands are announced. Just a couple of the last-minute changeovers on one table include Babel passing to a Vikash Dhorasoo check-raise all in on the turn of a board for a pot of over 25k, and then losing half his stack doubling up a shorter stack with his sevens vs. tens.
With that, it is the end of the day and it looks as though Fabrice Tuil has finished as the overall leader for Day 1A. The field looked tougher than one might have suspected as we lost many quality players including Allan Baekke, Ludovic Lacay, Praz Bansi and the Monte Carlo High Roller runner-up Oliver Busquet over the day. With 53 players left, we've lost exactly half the field over the six level, all of whom will be coming back on Monday with whoever is left over from tomorrow's Day 1B.
Speaking of which, Day 1B will begin tomorrow at 3pm local time, with a much large field expected that will include Alex Kravchenko, Anthony Roux and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.
We'll see you tomorrow, in the meantime here are some chip counts as we await the official counts from the lovely people here at the Aviation Club de France.
