The €1,500 World Series of Poker Circuit Paris Main Event at Partouche Pasino Club continues this Friday with Day 1c, the third of five flights in the tournament.
After the first two flights, a total of 369 entries have been recorded, with 172 in Day 1a and 197 in yesterday's Day 1b. These entries generated a prize pool of almost €500,000 for now, but the busiest flights are still to come.
From the second flight, 30 players made it through to Day 2 and into the money, led by Hugo Ouazana (1,121,000) and Philippe Souki (1,029,000), the tournament's first two millionaires. They were followed by Sam Sztarkman, who bagged the third stack with 925,000.
