€5,300 EPT Main Event
Giorno 1b iniziato
After a strong turnout on yesterday's first flight, the flagship tournament of the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris stop is looking forward to an even bigger turnout for Day 1b. The €5,300 EPT Main Event takes place for the second time in the City of Love and there is space for poker enthusiasts from all over the world thanks to more than 130 tables in the spacious convention halls of Le Palais des Congrès.
One year ago, the very same tournament drew a total of 1,606 entries and Razvan Belea who went from online satellite winner to EPT champion, taking home the golden shard trophy along with the top prize of €1,170,000.
Belea was among the participants on Day 1a but failed to make it through, whereas last year's runner-up Peter Jorgne bagged up 286,000 in chips for a spot in the top five so far. The Romanian, along with two thirds of the field gone on Day 1a, can take advantage of the single re-entry and take another shot at defending his title here in Paris.

1 | Razvan Belea | Romania | €1,170,000 |
2 | Peter Jorgne | Sweden | €780,100 |

Day 1b will kick off at noon local time and two hours prior to the start, there were already more than 250 players registered. Whether or not four figures will be reached for the second and final flight remains to be seen but the late registration remains all day long and even until the start of Day 2 on Wednesday, February 21, 2024.
All participants start their journey with 30,000 chips, which represents 300 big blinds in the opening level of 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Today's schedule mirrors Day 1a as a total of ten 60-minute levels will be played with 20-minute breaks after every two levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 6 at approximately 6.40 p.m. local time.

The cards are in the air and play has commenced for the day.
The pot stood at approximately 7,000 with two players looking at a full board of 2♠A♦9♦3♣5♥.
Samuel Muller, in the small blind, bet out 8,000, sending Tomislav Pavanic into the tank. Pavanic thought for some time before tossing in one chip for a call. Muller elected to muck face down and Pavanic claimed this pot without a showdown.

In one of the first hands of the day, action was on the river on a board of 7♠K♥6♥4♦A♥ when Antoine Chamba pushed his stack in the middle. Henrique Couto called the all-in.
Chamba flipped over 10♥9♥ for a rivered flush. Couto mucked his hand and stood up to leave, before realizing that he had just a single 100 chip left to play with. He has since been eliminated from the flight.

Tsugunari Toma raised from middle position, Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 1,200, then Toma four-bet to 3,900. Nitsche called and action went to the flop.
The flop came 2♥J♦3♠. Toma continued for 7,800 and Nitsche twiddled his chips before making the call. The turn was the J♠ and Toma led again for 8,300, which Nitsche called.
The river was the 7♦. Toma threw his last 10,000 in the middle and Nitsche quickly called. Toma showed K♦K♥ for a pair of kings, while Nitsche flipped A♣J♣ for trip jacks.
Nitsche won the pot to double his stack and Toma was sent to an early exit. That was Toma's second bullet, meaning he can't fire again and is out of the tournament.
