To become the next French champion, they'll have to play Day 1b, which starts at 1:00 p.m. local time. Blinds will begin at 100/200/200, and ten 60-minute levels will be played today. There will be a third and last flight, Day 1c, at 9 p.m. with 20-minute-levels. Late registration will remain open until the end of Level 12 on Day 2.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor throughout the entire Main Event to provide all the action until a winner is crowned!

Mickael Vassallo opened to 600 from under the gun. Charles-Malik Boudaoud to his left called, as well as the cutoff.
Vassallo continued for 800 on the 7♠4♠A♠ flop, but only Boudaoud called to find the 5♥ turn where Vassallo checked.
Boudaoud bet 2,000 and it didn't take long for Vassallo to fold.

Picking up the action on a board of 2♦3♦4♦K♠J♠ with approximately 42,000 in the pot, Alexis Rozenblat bet 28,500 from the cutoff, and he was called by Jonathan Abdoul on the button.
Facing these bets, Dominique Franchi went deep into the tank but folded, saying that he had a queen-high flush.
Rozenblat flipped over 10♦6♦ for a ten-high flush, but Abdoul slammed K♦9♦ on the table for a king-high flush. A fourth player said that he folded two diamonds as well preflop.
