: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
For his entire poker career, Thomas Eychenne would lie awake at night and imagine himself on a big stage, surrounded by bright lights and the blinding flash of cameras, as he hoisted a major trophy in the air. There were many opportunities for him to achieve that dream, but he always came up just a bit short. Still, he never gave up hope that it would happen one day.
Those hopes were realized last summer, as the 35-year-old Frenchman defeated Sebastian Ionita heads-up to win the 2025 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona Main Event title and €1,217,175. With it came his biggest career score after conquering the massive 2,045-player field, but also, just as importantly, his first-ever live tournament win.

Mathew Frankland raised to 1,200 from early position, with Alexander Yen calling on the button and Andrii Nadieliaiev defending from the big blind.
Upon seeing the 6♣9♦3♦ flop, Nadieliaiev led all-in for about 7,000. Frankland moved in over the top for 16,400, and Yen called, giving him the chance to send two players for an early dinner.
Andrii Nadieliaiev: 6♠4♣ 
Mathew Frankland: 10♠9♠
Alexander Yen: Q♦J♦
Nadieliaiev had middle pair, while Frankland held top pair and the lead, with Yen holding two overcards and a flush draw.
The 3♠ turn was safe for Frankland, as was the 10♣ river, which improved him to two pair.
Nadieliaiev was sent to the rail, while Frankland more than doubled his stack.

Benoit Fiasson had made it 1,100 preflop, prompting Louis Pascal to move all in for 14,500. Luka Sorainen then called, but Fiasson wanted to play for it all as well and reshoved for 50,000. Sorainen instantly called with the covering stack.
Louis Pascal: Q♥10♣
Benoit Fiasson: A♦K♦
Luka Sorainen: A♥K♥
Pascal turned a queen on 7♠J♣7♥Q♣ for a big lead. The 6♠ river remained safe for him, tripling him up.

Markkos Ladev raised the button to 1,200 before Leo Worthington-Leese three-bet from the small blind to 3,800. Igor Picone, in the big blind, thought for a while before four-betting to 7,500. Ladev shoved for about 11,600, and only Picone called.
Markkos Ladev: Q♥Q♠
Igor Picone: A♥K♦
Ladev needed to fade an ace or king to boost his stack back towards what he started with.
The dealer spread the 5♣J♣J♦ flop, keeping Ladev's pair in the lead.
Neither the 3♦ turn nor J♠ river was any good for Picone's big slick, allowing Ladev to secure the double-up.

Kwan gathered up another bet of 4,200 on the 7♣ turn, and again Savin called.
Both players checked the 2♠ river and Kwan tabled A♠3♠ for a pair of threes. Savin had him beat with K♥Q♣ for top pair, sending the pot his way.
