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, leading to 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 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Ilija Savevski opened to 30,000 and called when Jacques Mayer jammed for 133,000 from the cutoff.

Jacques Mayer: A♣8♣
Ilija Savevski: A♥J♠

Saveski had the better ace and remained best to oust Mayer after the 9♥7♠3♣K♠Q♣ runout.

On a table elsewhere, Moshe Eliyahu was all in for his last 167,000 and was at risk to Georgi Sandev, who reshoved from the small blind.

Moshe Eliyahu: K♦Q♠
Georgi Sandev: 7♠7♥

Eliyahu took the lead on the K♠5♥3♦ flop and improved to two pair on the Q♣ turn. However, Sandev hit his two-outer on the 7♣ river to make a set and seal the bust out. Eliyahu was stunned by the runout and took a few snaps of the board in disbelief before heading to the payout desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ilija Savevski	1,150,000 887,000	887,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alexandre Correia limped under the gun, Alexandre Le Vaillant called in early position and Nozomu Shimizu squeezed to 80,000 from the button. Both players called.

The action checked to Shimizu, who continued for 85,000 on the 8♣10♥6♣ flop. Correia called and Le Vaillant folded.

The 8♠ turn saw Correia check again. Shimizu bet out 275,000 and Correia moved all in, just covering Shimizu's stack of 698,000. Shimizu called.

Nozomu Shimizu: K♣K♥
Alexandre Correia: 9♥8♥

The river landed the 7♦; Correia's turned trips earned him one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far, eliminating Shimizu in the process.
