Aleksandar Sunjevaric: A♣10♣

Ercan Atmaca limped on the button. The small blind also limped, while Ricardo De Andrade checked to go three ways to the flop.
It came 3♥2♦8♥, and all three players checked.
A 9♣ on the turn sparked the action, with the small blind first leading out for 20,000 and then De Andrade raising to 100,000. Atmaca called the raise, while the small blind folded.
The K♦ river was checked through by both players. Atmaca flipped over 9♥J♠, while De Andrade tabled 5♦4♦. Atmaca took it down with a pair of nines to add to his monster chip stack.

PokerStars has unveiled the full schedule for the 2024 European Poker Tour (EPT) season, which shows five destinations, including a return to EPT Paris and EPT Cyprus. Both Paris and Cyprus made their EPT debut in 2023, and they return for 2024, much to the delight of the players.
EPT Paris is the first stop of the 2024 European Poker Tour season. It takes place between February 14-25 at a new venue. The stunning Le Palais des Congres has a 120-table capacity, meaning there will be a more extensive schedule for the festival. Cedric Billot, Associate Director for Live Events and Operations, believes the new-look EPT Paris could be one of the largest EPT festivals on record.
The 156 remaining players have been sent on their last 25-minute break of the day.
When they come back, one more 60-minute level will be played before the survivors bag up for Day 3.
Everybody folded to Danut Chisu who shoved for 320,000 in the small blind. Bartlomiej Basiaga in the big blind looked at his cards and eventually called.
Danut Chisu: Q♣9♣
Bartlomiej Basiaga: K♠Q♥
Chisu found a straight draw on the J♦4♦8♦ flop but was still on the edge of elimination after the turn 3♥. Fortunately, luck was on his side as his straight was completed with the river 10♠.
Down to 55,000 chips, Basiaga was eliminated a few hands later.
