Day 1B Concludes - Roll on Day Two
With the registration complete, the return of the WPT Grand Prix de Paris saw 247 total runners, creating a prize-pool of over €2.3 million to be spread out amongst 27 players. The winner of the event will pocket a hefty €633,902 for their efforts along with the coveted World Poker Tour title, but there's a long way to go.
The remaining 74 players surviving today's six 90-minute levels will combine with those who've had today to spend in springtime Paris (the life's not all bad) tomorrow. Joining the top of the combined pack will be Iulian Iacob (180,900) and Ilan Boujenah who've vied in the last two levels for the title of Chip Leader. Also stacked up heading to tomorrow are Theo Jorgensen, Jonathan Layani, and Eric Sadoun, who all have breached the 100,000 chip mark. Andrew Feldman, Patrick Bruel, Alexander Kravchenko and Isabelle Mercier have made it through too and will join the 53 day 1a survivors right here at the Aviation Club.
The action gets back under way at 3 p.m. tomorrow here in Paris at the Aviation Club de France, so be sure to keep your browser locked to PokerNews for up-to-the-minute live coverage.
