Mercier Busts His Neighbor

Nível 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Christophe Larquemin was first to act and raised to 1,000. His neighbor Jason Mercier three-bet to 3,700 and action folded back around to Larquemin who called rather quickly. Larquemin lead out 3,000 himself on the {7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop and Mercier called.

The {Q-Spades} hit the turn and Larquemin checked. Mercier bet 4,500 and Larquemin called.

With the {Q-Hearts} pairing the board on the river, Larquemin checked for the second time in a row. Mercier asked to see how much his neighbor had behind and the Frenchman showed his stack of 7,700. Mercier then slid forward 30,000 to put the maximum amount of pressure on his opponent. Larquemin didn't need much time to call, but his {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} hit the muck soon enough as Mercier tabled {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

"Player out!" the dealer shouted as Christophe Larquemin got up and left.

Diamonds Lead to Demise of Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Nível 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

We missed the elimination of Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, but Paul Newey was kind enough to fill us in on some details.

As he told it, the 2008 PCA champ shoved all in from the big blind for his last 4,500 after the under-the-gun player had raised. His opponent called and the hands were turned up.

Grospellier: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

It looked like it was going to be a chop, but the {j-}{6-Diamonds}{2-} flop gave Grospellier's opponent a freeroll to running diamonds. Unfortunately for France's all-time money leader, that's exactly what happened when the turn and river came diamond-diamond.

Reigning PCA Champ Mike Watson Falls Before Day 1a Dinner Break

Nível 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

Last year, Mike Watson topped a field of 928 players to win the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for $728,325. Watson was no doubt looking to also win the first PokerStars Bahamas Championship Main Event title, but his hopes of doing so were just dashed by fellow Canadian and PokerStars Qualifier Richard Proudfoot.

Watson's elimination hand escaped us, but he was kind enough to tell us about it after the fact while Proudfoot filled in some details.

As they told it, Watson got the last of his chips, of which there weren't too many, in on a {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{X-} flop holding the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} against the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} of Proudfoot.

Watson had a Royal Flush draw, but he bricked it as neither the turn nor river brought a helpful card.

Ivan Luca Busts to Daniel Colman

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Ivan Luca
Ivan Luca

Ivan Luca was down to 2,000 but tripled before he eventually went down anyway. He got lucky hitting a full house with {Q-}{8-} to get back some breathing room, but would fall the next hand.

Luca raised to 4,000 under the gun, leaving himself 2,200 behind. Daniel Colman three-bet to 7,200 from the cutoff and the button and both blinds quickly released. Luca commited his chips just as fast.

Ivan Luca: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Daniel Colman: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop already had one table mate say "Oh oh!", and the {3-Clubs} followed soon after to make things official for Luca. He was out, the {6-Spades} on the river did nothing for him.

Mercier and Mateos Win Pots but Marsh is Table Captain

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

With two of the final five hands to play, a table stacked with chips took its time to play down to the end in dramatic style.

The penultimate hand of Day 1a saw Jason Mercier (pictured) three-bet pre-flop and get one caller to a flop of {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. On that flop, the world-famous Floridian bet 5,700 and took the pot down. He took no part in the final hand, so stacked up a whopping 92,700 at the close of play.

In the final hand of the day, Adrian Mateos clashed with Aslan Tcechoev and the latter bet 2,000 preflop and got a call from Mateos and the big blind player. The flop of {6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} saw all three players check, but Tcechoev bet 3,500 on the {3-Hearts} and only Mateos called. The river {J-Diamonds} saw Mateos checked to, and he bet 8,300. Tcechoev folded and Mateos bagged up an impressive stack of 120,900.

Both Mercier and Mateos did well in the final level of the day, but Brad Marsh from Canada sealed up 173,200 chips and that's one of the biggest stacks in the room on a day where 229 players pitched up to play the PokerStars Championship Main Event here in The Bahamas.

James Martyn Leads Day 1a of 2017 PokerStars Championship Bahamas Main Event; Kevin Hart & Mike Watson Among Eliminated

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Day 1a of the 2017 PokerStars Championship Bahamas $5,000 Main Event attracted 229 players – up from last year’s 210 in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure — but after eight 75-minute levels of play, more than 100 of them had went the way of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins and New York Giants – they were eliminated!

That meant 112 players managed to find a bag on Sunday night, but none put more in it than 30-year-old James Martyn, who finished as chip leader with 197,400. Martyn got a lot of his chips when he picked up pocket rockets and doubled through Andrey Zaichenko, who picked an inopportune time to shove with king-ten.

Others who finished with healthy stacks were Brad Marsh (173,200), Andre Cooks (160,400), Mikko Turtiainen (155,100), Alan Schein (140,100), Daniel Colman (136,100) and Igor Kurganov (121,000). They were joined by the likes of Nick Petrangelo (104,000), Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier (92,200), Cliff Josephy (87,100), and Mike “Timex” McDonald (54,600).

Another player to advance was 84-year-old Morris Dadoun, who qualified for the Main Event by winning a charity event. Dadoun had an offer to sell his seat, but he decided to live out a dream and play in one of poker’s most prestigious events. It couldn’t have gone much better as he was responsible for the tournament’s first elimination, played against 2016 GPI Player of the Year David Peters, and even went toe-to-toe with PokerStars Team Pro Daniel Negreanu. Dadoun, who had his wife on the rail, survived the night with 112,800, while Peters and Negreanu bagged 29,300 and 58,200 respectively.

Among those to try and fall on Day 1a were 2015 World Series of Poker champ Joe McKeehen, Friend of PokerStars Sergio Garcia, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, last year’s PCA champ Mike Watson, and Charlie Carrel, who busted just a couple hours after finishing runner-up to Jason Koon in the $100,000 Super High Roller for more than $1.1 million. Speaking of Koon, he went on to bag 22,900.

Another player to fall on Day 1a was big-time Hollywood actor and poker aficionado Kevin Hart.

"Tell them that I went down swinging," requested Hart, who busted after shoving his short stack with deuce-six offsuit. Aslan Tchechoev held pocket tens, and Hart watched helplessly as the board ran out dry. Hart said it best earlier in the day:

"My poker is like the felt, it's smooth... but if you push it back in the other direction, it gets rough."

While the field lost one celebrity, they’ll gain one tomorrow when Aaron Paul of The Path and Breaking Bad fame takes his shot at poker glory. Others who’ll be in action on Monday are Team PokerStars Pro and 2003 WSOP champ Chris Moneymaker, ESPT4 Marbella champ Ludovic Geilich, and World Poker Tour Amsterdam High Roller champ Jason Wheeler, just to name a few. Meanwhile, many who either advanced or busted – such as Dan Shak, Christoph Vogelsang, and Paul Newey – are expected to take their shots in the $50,000 High Roller.

Day 1b will kick off at 11 a.m. local time on Monday, and we’ll be here to bring you all the action. Until then, check out Sarah Herring’s video with Dadoun, who today got to live out his poker dream.
