Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Cards were on their backs with Michael Kramer all in and at risk for his last 22,600. He was up against Jun Beum Chun.

Kramer tabled A♠10♥ and was dominated by Chun's AxQx, but the 10♦10♣2♠ flop made the shorter stack the huge favorite. Kramer held out to double after the 5♠ turn and 7♣ runout.

Can Meli Reel Off Another Big Score?

Calum Grant

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

It's a good time to be Vincent Meli. The French pro has been on a heater the last few months, notching his four biggest career scores in that time.

In November, he topped the UKIPT Nottingham Grand Final for £159,325 ($197,323) and then followed that up with a ninth-place finish in the Main Event at EPT Prague. That deep run in the Czech capital generated a €95,000 ($102,275) payout and firmly placed him as a player to watch in 2024.

He has a first and third-place tournament finish under his belt since the turn of the new year, collecting £83,897 ($105,892) and £58,690 ($74,666) respectively.

Meli is also in attendance for the FPS Main Event, and his stack is heading in the right direction. He recently took in a small pot to continue his upward trajectory.

The cutoff opened to 2,000 and Meli defended his big blind. The 6♣4♣3♦ flop checked through to the 7♠ turn. Meli led out for 2,200 and folded out his opponent.

Hernan Crespin: A♣A♠
Mirand Murseli: 10♠10♥

The board ran out 9♠7♥4♦Q♠7♦. Crespin held with his pocket aces to win the pot and double his stack.

The turn was the 2♦. Kartsampas checked again and Diaz pushed all in for slightly less than 20,000, an overbet to the pot. Kartsampas weighed it up before making the fold.
