. Une heure, c’est le temps qu’il faut pour faire le tour de la salle, saluer les joueurs que l’on cotoie toute l’année, tirer leurs portraits, revenir à la salle de presse et vous envoyer les news. Donc voilà, le premier niveau de jeu aux blinds 25 / 50 vient de se terminer.

On compte 9 éliminés lors de ce premier niveau et la moyenne est de 10 300 jetons.

Je viens de faire la liste non-exhaustive des français et des stars présentes pour ce Day 1B:

Coté Team770: Thomas Fougeron est à la table du russe qui a fait 10 fois places payées aux WSOP à Vegas dont le nom m’échappe. Personne de bien connu à part lui. Il compte un tapis de 8,5 K.

Guillaume Darcourt, quant à lui, à un gros morceau juste à sa gauche (au sens propre comme au figuré) en la personne de Greg Raymer. A sa droite, il a un français qui répond au nom de Stéphane j’ai oublié et j’ai mal écrit. J’y reviendrai plus tard.

Guillaume a 12,3 K de stack.

Enfin Stéphan Gérin, est à table avec Jacques Zaicik, Umberto Brenes, Mike McDonald, Munoz…

Tapis de Stehan: 10 K.
