Didier Claims First Seat Open

Jean Loup Didier’s raise was called by three opponents and the queen-high flop with two diamonds gave the initial raiser middle set. He fired 4,500 and Alexandre Hocquaux moved all in for his last 13,000 with ace-queen for top pair. The board gave running diamonds but Hocquaux had none of them and was sent to the rail as first player on Day 1b.

Jean Loup Didier	49,000	49,000
