Boris Angelov opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Masashi Oya three-bet to 8,000 on the button. Juan Pardo then cold four-bet to 27,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Angelov and a call from Oya.
Oya proceeded to call bets from Pardo on every street. First for 8,000 on the K♥6♥2♥ flop, then for 38,000 on the 9♣ turn, and lastly for 100,000 on the 3♠ river.
Pardo turned over A♥K♦ for top pair top kicker, but Oya revealed a slowplayed A♦A♣ and claimed the large pot to jump out to an early chip lead.

The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour is in full swing at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Spa, with the $5,300 Main Event currently midway through Day 2.
After late registration closed earlier, the series showstopper recorded 1,284 entries and generated a $6,227,400 prize pool, of which more than $1 million awaits the eventual champion. One player looking to do all it takes to become the next EPT Champion is Peter Tschernigg. The Austrian poker player has just over $30,000 in live earnings and found himself in a horrible spot preflop, with the tournament just a few dozen eliminations away from the money.
