Last year, Texapoker hosted the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) in the surprising rugby stadium Stade Jean-Bouin Paris. An unexpected place to play poker, which saw the coronation of Mohamed Iche as the 2024 WSOP-C Paris Main Event champion, earning €150,000 out of a field of 1,056 entries. Not only did he win the gold ring of the Main Event, but he also finished in second place in the WSOP-C Cup during the same festival.

This year, the set and the city have changed, as the 2025 edition has moved from April 10–22 to the Pasino Grand of Aix-en-Provence in the south of France.

Last night, Anthony Apicella won one of them, taking down Event #6, the €750 Superstack, for €35,000 after defeating players at the final table like… Mohamed Iche, the defending Main Event champion (9th, €4,250€).

: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
After an open to 600 by a player in middle position, Tal Sardal to his left called, as well as Jeremy Mazies in the small blind.
On a flop of Q♦8♦J♣, everybody checked to Sardal who bet 1,200. Mazies check-called, while the third player folded.
Sardal fired a second barrel of 2,000 on the 8♥ turn. Mazies check-called again to find the 2♦ river where both players checked.
Mazies flipped over Q♣9♣ for two pair and scooped the pot after Sardal sent his cards into the muck.

The action was picked up on a board of 10♥A♠3♥J♠ with approximately 5,000 in the pot. Hervé Gouzil in the cutoff bet 3,000 and was called by both the button and the small blind.
The 6♥ completed the board and the small blind led out for 4,000. Gouzil went into the tank and raised to 15,000. It took a long moment for the button to call, while the small blind didn't look very happy to fold.
Gouzil then revealed A♥Q♥ for the nut flush, and the button showed him K♥4♥ for the second nut flush.

Ludwig de Saint-Etienne opened from under the gun, then Antoine Talvard in middle position three-bet. The button four-bet to 7,300 but saw Christophe Monnin in the small blind five-bet to 20,000.
De Saint-Etienne folded and later said he had kings. Talvard folded as well and said he had ace-king, but the button decided to call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♥10♦8♣ where Monnin jammed for 28,200. The button eventually made the call.
Button: Q♠Q♣ 
Christophe Monnin: A♥A♣
All the players around the tables were not suprised to discovered Monnin's aces. He won this big pot after the 5♦4♠ runout, while the button was eliminated on the next hand.
