The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris has attracted a huge swathe of poker's most notable names. Chris Brewer, Jesse Lonis and Byron Kaverman are just some of the crushers to have made the trip across the Atlantic and also among the flock of talented Americans who've journeyed to France is poker pro and coach Lexy Gavin-Mather, who has been making her mark in the vlogging space.
Initially a cash game player for most of her career, Gavin-Mather has turned her attention to poker tournaments for the last few years. With more than $600,000 in live earnings, Gavin-Mather has picked up a thing or two regarding multi-table tournaments and has now condensed the wisdom of her time at the tables into her latest project.
The latest venture for Gavin-Mather has seen her become a published author, having penned the new poker book Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Tournaments, which is now available to pre-order. The RunGood Poker Series ring winner sat down to PokerNews to give the inside scoop to her book, along with tips for getting into the content space and her return to the EPT.

Marco Poccia: K♦Q♦
Samuel Fournier: A♠K♥
Poccia took the lead on the Q♠6♣4♣ flop but Fournier still had live outs. The 7♣ turn was no help to the Frenchman and Poccia bagged the double up on the 3♠ river.

Atanas Malinov: 9♠9♣
Fahredin Mustafov: K♠K♦
The 2♠3♣Q♦ was safe for Mustafov's kings and Malinov was drawing dead on the K♥ turn as Mustafov made top set. The 2♥ river gave Mustafov a full house and Malinov departed the tournament.
