Day 1c of the €1,100 France Poker Series (FPS) Paris Main Event has been played to its conclusion here at the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris at the Le Palais des Congrès with Alexandre Correia emerging as the leader after bagging 895,000 in chips.

A whopping 1,208 players entered on Day 1c, and of those 181 advanced to Day 2. A prize pool of $2,360,640 has already been collected with a record-breaking 2,262 entries, surpassing 2023’s 2,071 entries with two more flights to go tomorrow, Friday, February 16, 2024.

2023 FPS Monte Carlo Main Event Champion Daisuke Ogita of Japan bagged the second largest stack, with a total of 675,000. Ogita started to pick up steam in the last few hours of the night, almost crossing the 500,000 mark in level 15 when he picked off a bluff from Soenke Jahn.
