Day 1b Set to Start
It's a rainy day here in beautiful Paris, France, which isn't great for the toursits visiting the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, or the Notre Dame de Paris, but it's perfect weather for a €7,500 poker tournament.
Day 1b of the World Poker Tour Season XI Grand Prix de Paris will begin shortly here at the Aviation Club de France. Day 1a attracted 96 runners, 51 of which survived, and the chip leader is Jacques Enjoubault, who ended the day with 225,200 chips. He's not the only player with six figures however - Antony Lellouche (178,000), Basil Yaiche (142,475), and Pasi Heinanen (100,500) all finished with over 100,000 chips.
Among the players eliminated yesterday that we look forward to seeing again today are Tony G, Vanessa Selbst, Dan O'Brien, Will Failla, Aubin Cazals, Samuel Chartier, and Guillaume Darcourt.
The cards will be in the air in the next 20 minutes, so make sure to stay tuned for all of your up-to-the-minute updates!
