PokerStars brand new flagship series, The PokerStars Open, returns for its second standalone stop to the Circus Casino Resort in the picturesque city of Namur, Belgium, after the hugely successful inaugural edition in Campione, Italy.
Adrian State of Romania walked away with the title and a cheque for €363,000 after besting a 2,423 entry field in Campione, while Norwegian Jon Kyte banked €340,000 after triumphing in the version held within EPT Monte Carlo.
PokerStars announced recently that the buy-in for PokerStars Open Main Events within EPT's will be increased to €1,650 going forward to reduce waiting times for players, with the buy-in for standalone events remaining at €1,100.

The €1,100 buy-in, €1,000,000 guaranteed PokerStars Open Main Event here in Namur is already well underway. PokerNews joins the action in Day 2 after the completion of seven starting flights, with a total of 1,523 entries logged, generating a current total prize pool of €1,445,327.
Late registration remains open until the start of Day 2, with a 30,000 starting stack available for players to have a last shot at the title.
A total of 433 players still have dreams of taking the title after surviving 11 Day 1 levels, with Belgian Ferdinando D'Alessio (473,500) leading the way at the start of play from Dutchman Gertjan Albers (428,500) and Djamal Boutaleb of France (396,000).
D'Alessio, a Namur regular, boats recorded earnings of over $750,000, his biggest score being a €415,000 payday for finishing runner-up in the 2023 EPT Barcelona Main Event, and he'll be hoping to go one better here to capture the coveted spade trophy.
PokerStars ambassadors Kenny Hallaert (120,000) and Barny Boatman (38,000) are both still in the mix, along with many other luminaries of European poker such as Dan Wilson (136,000), Felix Schneiders (324,000) and 2024 Irish Open champ Tero Laurila (151,000).
Prize pool and payout information will be published once they are confirmed after the close of late registration.

Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jessy Leclerc opened to 3,000 from early position, and received calls from Aram Ali and Loic Pate in the blinds.
On the K♠5♣4♦ flop, action was checked to Leclerc, who fired out a bet of 3,000. Only Pate called.
The 5♦ turn paired the board, and Pate led out with a bet of 5,500, getting a quick call from Leclerc.
The 3♠ river completed the board, and Pate fired out again with a bet of 16,500. Leclerc had around 53,000 behind and made the quick call.
He confidently tabled K♦Q♣ for two pair kings and fives, but Pate had got there on the river with a wheel straight with A♦2♦, after also turning the nut flush draw.

Pokerstars ambassador Kenny Halleart opened to 3,500 from middle position, and received action from Boris Pranjes in the cutoff and Andrea Zigrossi in the small blind.
The K♥Q♦4♥ flop was checked through to Pranjes, who slid out a bet of 5,500. That was too rich for both of his opponents, and he raked in an early pot.
