The 8♦7♣4♥ flop was checked around before [Removed:549] elected to lead on the 9♦ turn card for 15,000. Uselis made the call. [Removed:549] then checked the A♠ river to Uselis who fired a bet of 55,000. [Removed:549] quickly called and tabled A♦5♦ for top pair. Uselis showed K♦Q♦ briefly before mucking his hand.

Fournier took a moment before putting in the raise to 42,000. Sitbon made the call and Fournier tabled K♣5♣ for two pair and Sitbon mucked.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

[Removed:548] opened to 17,000 from early position and was faced with an all-in from Gaelle Baumann for 80,000. [Removed:549] made the quick call to put Baumann at risk.

Gaelle Baumann: A♦K♣
[Removed:548]: A♠J♣

Baumann was in a strong position with her ace dominating [Removed:549]'s but things took a turn for the worse after the Q♦J♦7♥ flop gave [Removed:549] a pair of jacks.

Baumann could still hit a king or ten to prevail, but the 3♦6♠ turn and river were bricks.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stephane Gabarre raised 16,000 in early position, and Luca Giovannone called next to act before Jonathan Proudfoot defended the big blind.

The dealer spread flop of 10♥8♦7♦, and Proudfoot checked before Gabarre continued for 15,000. Giovannone put in a raise to 60,000, forcing Proudfoot to snap-fold, and Gabarre flashed the 7♣ as he did the same.

"Big bluff," Said Giovannone as he showed A♦6♦.

"That's not a bluff," Gabarre said with a laugh.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Two more high roller events have taken place at EPT Paris, and some familiar faces have left the star-studded fields in their wake once again.

Teun Mulder picked up his first live PokerStars win of the year while Daniel Dvoress claimed his second title of the series, just days after prevailing in €25,000 NL Hold'em.

Also among the latest winners in the French capital is 2017 Irish Open champion Griffin Benger. The Canadian sprinted to first place in last night's €1,050 NLHE Hyper Turbo.
