Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

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 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ran Shahar opened to 9,000 in the highjack and Ferdinando D'Alessio calls in the cutoff.

Harald Sammer chose to reraise on the button to 32,000. Sharhar folded and D'Alessio made the call.
D'Alessio checked the flop of Q♥8♣4♦ to Sammer who continuation-bet for 20,000.

D'Alessio took a moment before making the call.

The 9♠ turn was checked around, then the dealer flipped the 4♠ and Dalessio led for 35,000.

Sammer waited for a second, before announcing all in for 108,000.

This put D'Alessio deep into the tank. He assessed his stack and pondered making the call.

Eventually he put the chips in and Sammer tabled A♦Q♠ for top two pair. D'Alessio flipped over J♦10♦ for a turned straight.

Sammer looked visibly confused and said "that's surprising" as he stood up from the table and left the tournament.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lucien Cohen raised to 10,000 in middle position, then called when Stefan Nitschke moved all in for 53,000 on the button.

Stefan Nitschke: A♥Q♠
Lucien Cohen: J♣J♦

Cohen's jacks remained in front on the 9♥7♣6♣8♥ board and Nitschke was one card away from being eliminated near the money bubble, but he caught the Q♣ on the river as Cohen shot out of his seat and let out a loud cry while most of his chips were pushed to Nitschke.
