A player in middle position opened to 600 and received a call from a player in the cutoff before Samuel Tebege, who took fourth-place in the €250 EAPT cup earlier this festival for €3,975, raised to 2,500 from the big blind. The original raiser called while the cutoff got out of the way.
The flop came K♣J♥4♠ and Tebege fired a 1,500 continuation bet that was called by his opponent.
Both players then checked both the 9♦ turn and 2♠ river. Tebege tabled A♠J♠ and his opponent looked at his cards for about 10 seconds before opting to fold.
"Queen-jack?" Tebege asked his opponent. The middle position player did show the J♣ in his hand for an inferior second-pair as Tebege took the pot.

After Day 1d, which consists of 40-minute levels, there will be one last chance to advance to Day 2 in the turbo Day 1e flight, which begins at 8:00 p.m. local time and features 20-minute levels. Players can reenter once per starting flight and late registration will be open until the end of Level 9 for both Day 1d and Day 1e. Both starting flights will end when 15% of the field remains at which point all remaining players will advance to Day 2 and be in the money.
After Day 1e the fields will combine for Day 2 on February 18 at which point all remaining players will be guaranteed at least a min-cash; however all players will undoubtedly have their sights set on the top four places. The top four players will not only receive the lion's share of the prize pool but will also each receive a €5,000 package to Cyprus for the Mediterranean Poker Party in May which includes a $2,000 entry to the EAPT Grand Final.
As always, stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all the action for this event.
