dsalituro

Le Palais de Congres plays host to some of the biggest names in poker today when the first €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em event of the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris festival begins at 2 p.m. local time.

This is the first of six events at this buy-in level that will be played here in Paris. Last year’s events were won by a veritable who’s who of elite players, including Chris Brewer and Stephen Chidwick.

2023 EPT Paris €25,000 Results

Champion	Entries	Earnings	Runner-Up
Chris Brewer	44	€357,180	Felipe Ketzer
Teun Mulder	51	€389,870	Tauan Naves
Stephen Chidwick	40	€324,500	Adrian Mateos

Players begin the event with 100,000 chips and will play 30-minute levels. There is a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 10, with late registration closing once action resumes which should come around 8:45 p.m. Players are allowed a single reentry during the registration period.

This event utilizes a 30-second shot clock for the duration of the tournament. Players receive six time banks to start and get an extra one at the beginning of every odd-numbered level. This is a single-day event, so there is a chance it will be a late night by the time a champion is crowned.

Stay tuned as PokerNews provides all the live updates throughout the day.

Nível 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sam Greenwood raised to 3,000 on the button, Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 12,500 in the small blind, and Greenwood called.

The flop came 5♣K♣6♠ and O'Dwyer continued for 7,000. Greenwood called.

The 2♥ fell on the turn and O'Dwyer bet 20,000. Greenwood again stuck around to see the 8♠ river, where O'Dwyer bet 62,000, leaving himself just one red 500 chip behind.

Greenwood moved all in and O'Dwyer tossed in his last chip. Greenwood showed him 5♥5♠ for a set and O'Dwyer mucked A♦K♦ before making his exit.

Thomas Boivin was also recently eliminated after Daniel Dvoress called his river all-in shove with aces and sixes. "Are you disappointed the ace came so you couldn't just call him with a six," tablemate Sam Grafton said.

"I wasn't calling turn to fold river," Dvoress replied.

Hissou Departs Again

Nível 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sirzat Hissou raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Santhosh Suvarna three-bet to 16,000 on the button. The action folded back to Hissou, who put in another raise to 35,000.

Suvarna confirmed the amount and made the call before he called the 45,000 continuation-bet of his opponent as well, on a flop of J♠8♣10♣.

Hissou then slowed down and checked the K♠ turn, after which he called Suvarna's 55,000 bet.

On the 3♥ river, Hissou checked once more and Suvarna pushed all in, covering Hissou's stack of 40,000 chips. Hissou tanked for a bit but eventually made the call, being shown A♦A♣ by his opponent.

Hissou could not beat that and his Q♦Q♣ disappeared into the muck. He busted his second and final bullet and swiftly left the tournament area.

Mokri Runs Into Nuts

Nível 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Adrian Mateos had raised preflop from under the gun and was called by Kayhan Mokri in the small blind. On the A♠K♠K♣ flop, Mokri checked to Mateos, who fired a bet of 5,000 chips.

Mokri responded with a raise to 17,500, which Mateos called. On the J♥ turn, Mokri sized up to 20,000 and received another call from Mateos.

The 3♣ river then arrived and Mokri put all his chips in the middle, amounting to 100,000 of them. Mateos snap called and tabled his A♥A♣ for top full house.

Mokri's K♦10♦ for trip kings were not good enough, resulting in his second and final exit of the day.
