Day 1a Highlights
Gonzalez was a factor in big hands all day, and his turning point came when Quentin Roussey tried to bluff him out of a big pot, but Gonzalez called after a long tank and turned over two pair to take his entire stack. A short time later, Gonzalez took another big pot from Ori Hasson with another two pair. Gonzalez will return with 317,000 in the bag for Day 2 and the chance to go on a magical run.
Big players on Day 1a included Adrian Mateos, Johan Guilbert, and PokerStars Team Pro Laurie Tournier. Tournier finished with 42,000, which includes chips from a clash with Jan Bednar where Tournier beat Bednar’s pocket fours with pocket tens. Tournier is looking for her first win on the EPT and her previous best finish is a run to fourth place in the 2022 Women’s Event at EPT Barcelona.
Guilbert was in trouble earlier on in the day, but he doubled through Basile Yaiche’s pocket kings when his ace-nine improved on the all-in runout. Guilbert bounced back and he will return for Day 2 with 115,000. He previously won the €10,200 6-Handed event, also at EPT Barcelona.
Mateos will return with a top-ten chip stack and a chance to continue his EPT dominance. Mateos won two EPT tournaments last year, including a €100,000 High Roller in Monte Carlo and a €25,000 High Roller in the winter edition of Prague.
Other players to bag for Day 2 include Boris Kolev, Mike Watson, Victoria Livschitz, Harry Lodge, Jonathan Jaffe, and Paulina Loeliger.
Among the familiar faces that turned out for Day 1a but did not make survive are PokerStars Ambassadors Jen Shahade, Parker Talbot, Ramon Colillas, Andre Akkari, Rafael Moraes, Lex Veldhuis, and Alejandro Lococo, who made it to the late stages of the night but hit the rail when his short stack couldn’t double with pocket sevens.
Day 1b will kick off at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, and players will once again play 10 levels. The surviving players from both flights will combine on Wednesday for Day 2.
Be sure to keep it with the PokerNews team all week long for live updates from the floor of the €5,300 EPT Paris Main Event at the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile.

Day 1a of the EPT Paris Main Event will wrap up when three more hands play out.
Xu Calls Clock on Himself
Nível 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
There was 14,000 in the middle on the 
board. Stephen Song checked from the hijack and Ai Guo Xu bet 5,000. Song then jammed as the bigger stack, which put Xu in the blender.
After some time, Xu called the clock on himself. "I need help," he said.
As the countdown began, Xu folded.
"Strange," Xu commented.
"I had the best hand," replied Song.

Jaros' Sun Run Continues
Nível 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Patrik Jaros has been building a steady stack all day and mentioned earlier that he's "running hot" and that people keep betting into him despite him saying so. That form has continued into the last level of the day.
He opened to 3,000 from middle position before Kyung Sik Jung made it 8,500 from the hijack. Jaros jammed and Jung, who had around 22,000 behind, called.
Kyung Sik Jung: 
Patrik Jaros: 
Jaros stayed true to his earlier words and paired up on the 
flop to take the lead, and he held out to eliminate Jung following the 
turn and 
river.

Couceiro Doubles Through Kamel
Nível 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was heads up with 30,000 in the pot and 
on the board when Tamer Kamel checked before Miguel Couceiro shoved his last 25,000. Kamel leaned forward and went into the tank for a moment before he ultimately put out the exact chips to call. Couceiro showed 
to take the pot with a pair of kings and Kamel flashed 
before he tossed it in the muck.
