Vu que je n'ai pas été en mesure de vous faire un live coverage du tournois de Pierre, voici un résumé des quelques coups intéressants de sa journée au travers des différents post sur le net.

Update end of the day 1A
Pierre termine donc cette journée avec un tapis de 45.700 chips ... qu'il amènera fièrement au jour 2 ! Il me confie " Cette première journée a été très difficile, j'ai navigué short la plus grande partie de la journée ... entre 6000 et 15.000. Je m'en sors finalement et me dirige vers le 2e jour à 45 000 en définitif ! "

Update 22.46
Pierre Neuville has just doubled through to 57,000 after turning the nuts. Neuville opened the pot from the middle position to 2,600 and was called by the button, Thomas Finneran. Neuville fired 3,600 at the Q♥4♥2♠ flop, which was called, before checking the 6♥ turn. Finneran shot 5,000 at the pot and Neuville check-raised to 11,200. The Irishman shrugged and put the Belgian all-in for another 10,000 and Neuville insta-called with A♥K♥ leaving Finneran drawing dead with A♦Q♦. Finneran was left was just 13,000. -- RD

Update 20.45
Friend of PokerStars Pierre Neuville is up to 18,000 in his struggle to get back in the thick of things. He open-raised to 1,500 and got one call to see a 9♥3♥2♦ flop. Neuville then fired out a 2,125 continuation bet, and that was good for the pot. -- SY

Update 15.50
Pierre Neuville isn't a player that you normally associate with being short stacked. The online qualifier is usually bobbling along nicely just above average at this point in play so I was a little surprised to see him all-in and flipping for his tournament life with just 7,175 in front of him.

Mike Adamo had opened for 700 and had been called by David Taborsky before Neuville shoved from the cut-off. The Belgian found action instantly from Gustavo Rodriguez Santos on the button before Adamo and Taborsky mucked their hands.

Neuville: 9♠9♥
Santos: A♦A♠

The flip flopped well for Neuville with 9♦T♠5♥ and Santos was left asking the saints for a runner-runner. It didn't materialise. Neuville is back up to 16,100. -- RD
