€1,100 FPS Main Event
Dia 1a Iniciado
The city of love welcomes poker enthusiasts from all over the world on Valentine's Day as card sharks embark on their journey in the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris festival at the stunning Le Palais des Congres in cooperation with Le Club Barrière Paris.
For two weeks, card sharks for near and far will compete for millions of Euros in prize money and the series is expected to topple the turnout of the 2023 EPT Paris stop, which commenced with a record turnout in the opening €1,100 France Poker Series (FPS) Paris Main Event. The very same event highlights the start of the series once more and in the days to come, the 2,071 entry-strong attendance may very well be challenged.
One year ago, it was local player Alan Goasdoue who defeated fellow Frenchman Jean-Luc Labryga in heads-up play to earn €287,830 for his efforts, the far biggest cash prize in his young poker career. Five of the nine finalists were representing the Tricolore while notables such as Elias Fisz, Chris Dowling and Vasyl Zabrodskyy also reached the final table as well.
Many of those who ran deep in 2023 are expected to return to Paris for another shot at a big payday. There are six starting days available between February 14 and 16, 2024, and today will feature two flights. Day 1a kicks off at noon local time while Day 1b is set to get underway at 6 p.m. local time.
All participants receive 30,000 in starting chips and the aim for each Day 1 is reaching the top 15 percent of the field to secure a cash prize, as that's when the action will conclude. A maximum of seven entries are allowed across all flights with the first appearance counting as the initial entry. Each starting day then subsequently permits one re-entry and the registration for each of them closes after the end of level ten.
The 2024 FPS Paris Main Event final table will be live-streamed with cards-up coverage and commentary on a 30-minute delay. It is just one of several tournaments to be broadcasted on the PokerStars channels and the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to cover all major events on the schedule.

Joining the action on the A♦7♣3♠8♦ flop, Victor Gomez checked his option out of the small blind on a short-handed table. Parham Ahoor made it 800 to go only for Gomez to check-raise to 2,600.
That was enough to win the pot uncontested as Ahoor sent the cards into the muck.

Georges Ghossan limped from early position, which prompted Loris Andre to raise to 400 over the limp. The player in the small blind called, as did Alone Zagury in the big blind. Ghossan then limp-raised to 1,600. Andre folded, as did the player in the small blind, while Zagury made the call.
The flop came Q♣4♥A♣. Action checked to Ghossan, who made a continuation bet of 2,200. Zagury called and action went to the turn, which was the 9♥. Zagury checked and Ghossan bet 6,000. Zagury folded and Ghossan claimed the pot.
