Selahaddin Bedir Chipleader After Day 1 of the $10,300 EPT High Roller

Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

If Day 4 of the $5,300 PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus Main Event was over shortly after the dinner break with 16 players remaining, players of Day 1 of the $10,300 EPT High Roller had to be more patient.

They needed to maintain their stacks until the end of ten 60-minute levels to reach the end of the day. And out of the 353 players who registered on Day 1, 151 players bagged their chips and qualified for Day 2.

Selahaddin Bedir secured the top position with an impressive 403,500 chips, making him the only player with more than 400,000 chips. Paulius Plausinaitis closely followed with 399,000 chips, while Kubanychbek Abakirov held 349,000 chips.

1	Selahaddin Bedir	Turkey	403,500	269
2	Paulius Plausinaitis	Lithuania	399,000	266
3	Kubanychbek Abakirov	Kyrgyzstan	349,000	233
4	Milos Petakovic	Serbia	313,000	209

9	Maher Nouira	Tunisia	242,500	162
10	Masato Yokosawa	Japan	241,000	161

Maher Nouira, the winner of the $25,000 NL Hold'em IV, secured a spot in the Top 10 with his 242,500 chips. He's just one blind ahead of Japanese YouTuber Masato Yokosawa, who will return for Day 2 with 241,000 chips.

Following them, the 2010 EPT Monte-Carlo champion Nicolas Chouity ended the day with a stack twice the average (212,500), as did PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin Spragg (206,000), and the $50,000 Super High Roller winner Juan Pardo (198,000).

Players like Leon Sturm (188,500), Steve O'Dwyer (175,000), Fabrice Bigot (173,000), Pablo Silva (172,000) or Roberto Romanello (165,000) will also be back on Day 2 with big stacks.

Even after they were eliminated on Day 4 of the EPT Main Event in 29th, 20th, and 18th place, Dario Sammartino (134,000), Bart Lybaert (132,500), and Anton Wigg (100,000) still had time to build stacks larger than EPT champion Artur Martirosian (99,500) or Sam Greenwood (97,000), for example.

Dominik Nitsche (91,500), Dimitar Danchev (87,500), Niklas Astedt (86,000), Mikita Badziakouski (61,500), Benny Glaser (59,000) or Adrian Mateos (54,500) will have smaller stacks too, but they qualified for Day 2.

Day 2 will start tomorrow, Saturday, October 21, at 12:30 p.m. local time, on Level 11 (1,000/1,500/1,500). For the players who didn't qualify yet, late registrations will remain open until the beginning of Day 2. Only two entries are allowed during the tournament, so only players who didn't enter the tournament twice will be able to join. 15% of the field will be in the money. But so far, a big prize pool of $3,462,900 has already been generated.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team is here on-site and will continue providing updates.

Zouari And Niste Trap Each Other

Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

2023 EPT Barcelona finalist Mihai Niste raised to 2,500 from under the gun, and he was called by Jeremie Zouari in the small blind, and Selahaddin Bedir in the big blind.

All three of them checked on the flop 6♦2♣8♥. Then on the turn 9♦, Bedir took the lead and bet 4,000. Niste called, but Zouari raised all in for 27,400 chips. Bedir quickly folded, but Niste snap-called.

Jeremie Zouari: A♦A♠
Mihai Niste: K♣K♦

Everybody laughed at the table when the cards went on their backs, because Zouari and Niste were trying to trap with their monsters.

But after the river 7♥, Zouari won and doubled up.

Luo Gets the Job Done

Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Shuang Luo opened under the gun to 2,500 and was only called by Seyed Sedigh in the big blind.

The 5♦4♣8♥ flop was checked to Luo who continued for 2,000. Sedigh snap check-raised to 6,100. Luo thought it over and then called.

The Q♣ landed on the turn and Sedigh bet 5,200. Luo sat in the tank for a moment and then put in her own raise to 18,500. Sedigh folded pretty quickly and Luo dragged the pot after sticking around and finding her spot to pounce.
