Tereshchenko Eliminated by Weis

[user38873]

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a three-bet pot to the 9♦7♣4♦ flop with 1,700 in the middle, Evgeniy Tereshchenko checked in the hijack. Oliver Weis bet 1,300 for Tereshchenko to check-raise to 4,000 and earn a call from Weis.

Tereshchenko then led the 8♥ turn for 7,500 out of a stack of around 18,000. Weis glanced over, then pushed all-in and Tereshchenko called.

Evgeniy Tereshchenko: 10♦8♦
Oliver Weis: 7♠7♥

Tereshchenko was behind but his pair, open-ender and flush draw had plenty of equity against the set of Weis. However, the 9♥ river only improved Weis to a full house and sent Tereshchenko to the rail.

The pot stood at approximately 3,000 with two players looking at a full board of A♦3♦8♦3♥K♥.

Javier Gonzalez, in the big blind, checked the action to Boris Angelov, on the button. Angelov bet out 3,500 and Gonzalez went into the tank, eventually making the call. Angelov tabled 6♦5♦ for a flopped flush.

Another Early Bust as Toma Falls to Nitsche

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

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.

Chamba Doubles With Flush, Couto Busts Early

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

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.

Large Field Expected for Day 1b of the 2024 EPT Paris €5,300 Main Event

[user38873]

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.
