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.

Folding Pocket Kings???

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.
