Sitbon Gets Folded Out; PokerStars' Wiciak in the Mix

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

The middle position player opened to 800, and Winamax ambassador Julien Sitbon called from late position. The big blind also stuck around.

Action checked to Sitbon on the K82 flop and he bet 600. The big blind got out of the way but the original raiser made it 1,800 and Sitbon conceded the pot.

Sitbon's compatriot Simon Wiciak is also in the field, and he is representing PokerStars after being unveiled as an ambassador at EPT Paris in February.

Wiciak, best known for his EPT Barcelona Main Event triumph in 2023, sat down with the PokerNews team to look back on his memorable EPT run and what it's like to put on the coveted Team Pro patch.

Peters Chips Up

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The under-the-gun player made it 900. Tobias Peters called from the cutoff, as did the button.

The original raiser continued for 1,700 on the 952 flop. Peters was the only caller.

The under-the-gun player then check-folded to Peters' bet of 3,200 on the J turn.

At the 2023 WSOP Europe, Peters ended his 11-year wait for his first bracelet, as he defeated legend of the felt Barny Boatman in heads-up play to take down Event #7: €1,650 NLH 6-max at King's Resort in Rozvadov.

Maguire Moves All In

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Chris Maquire opened to 800 out of his short stack from the button and was called by the big blind.

The big blind check-called for 600 on the A98 flop before leading out for 1,200 on the 5 turn. Maguire paused for a few moments and moved all in for around 6,500. Maguire caught his opponent speeding as the big blind quickly folded.
