The first of two starting days for the €1,000 + €100 Unibet Open Main Event at the Casino Barriere Cannes — which was visiting the French Riviera for the third time (Daniel Smith defeated a 457-entry strong field in 2014 for a payday of €88,000) attracted a field of 182 entrants and ten 60-minute levels later, only 59 hopefuls bagged up chips for Saturday's Day 2.
In the lead is Julien Sitbon with a massive 354,300 in chips followed by Matyas Csiszar and Christer Nagell with 271,200 and 211,200 respectively.
