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.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop where Jelle Moene bet 20,000 on the board of 4♦A♠6♦K♥ and Axel Hallay shoved all in for 10,000 more. Moene quickly called and the players showed down.

Axel Hallay: A♣K♣
Moene: 4♣4♥

Moene's flopped set was in good shape against Hallay's two pair, who needed an ace or a king to make a full house.

The river 6♣ confirmed Hallay's fate and scooped Moene the pot and Hallay's bounty token.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim opened 6,500 in middle position, and Benjamin Spragg called next to act before Alejandro Lococo three-bet 32,500 in the small blind.

Kim eyed up both of his opponent's stacks before putting in a four-bet to 100,000. Spragg snap-mucked, but Lococo took a bit longer before letting it go.

"Show nothing," said Lococo as he mucked his hand, "Not even ace-high I bet. Maybe six-seven."

Fehim Hajdari raised to 6,500 from the hijack, receiving calls from the cutoff, small and big blinds.

The 4♣ river checked to a showdown. Tiziano Di Romualdo tabled 6♣5♠, which was beaten by the 10♠3♣ of Bayram. However, Hajdari scooped this pot with 10♦8♦, with a better ten.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tran Tuan opened to 5,500 from middle position and Aliaksei Boika called in the highjack.

Renjung Yang reraised in the small blind to 19,500, which was called by Tran.

Yang led for 26,500 on the flop of Q♦5♠A♠ which Tran called after a moments thought. Boika folded his holding.

The turn brought the 8♥ and Yang barrelled again, this time for 49,000. Tran went deep into the tank. Over a minute went by and time was called. The floor started the 30 second countdown.

With 10 seconds left on the clock, Tran cut out calling chips and placed them into the pot.

On the A♦ river, Yang checked to Tran. Tran fired the river for 75,000 and Yang called quickly. He tabled A♥K♦ for trip aces, and Tran showed 10♠8♠ for a missed flush draw. Yang scooped a sizeable pot.
