Livello 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

PokerStars has unveiled the full schedule for the 2024 European Poker Tour (EPT) season, which shows five destinations, including a return to EPT Paris and EPT Cyprus. Both Paris and Cyprus made their EPT debut in 2023, and they return for 2024, much to the delight of the players.

EPT Paris is the first stop of the 2024 European Poker Tour season. It takes place between February 14-25 at a new venue. The stunning Le Palais des Congres has a 120-table capacity, meaning there will be a more extensive schedule for the festival. Cedric Billot, Associate Director for Live Events and Operations, believes the new-look EPT Paris could be one of the largest EPT festivals on record.

Livello 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

It's been a rough start for PokerStars ambassador Ramon Colillas, who has already lost half of his stack after just a few hands.

Niklas Astedt had opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and picked up a call from Pablo Brito Silva from the small blind. Colillas three-bet to 11,000 from the big blind and Astedt was the only caller.

Colillas continued for 7,500 on the A♥Q♠8♥ flop and was called. The 10♦ turn then checked through to the K♥ river. With his shot clock nearly at zero, Colillas fired out 11,000 but snap-folded when Astedt moved all in as the bigger stack.

Once Astedt scooped in the pot, Tsugunari Toma took his seat at the table to bring the field to 13 players.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Niklas Astedt	175,000 35,000	35,000
Tsugunari Toma	100,000 100,000	100,000
Pablo Brito Silva	63,500 6,500	6,500

Livello 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko made it 2,500 first to act and called when Deividas Daubaris three-bet to 9,000 on his direct left.

Shylko checked on the A♠K♠2♥ flop, and his opponent bet 5,500. The 2023 PSPC winner had three blue T-5,000 in his hand but just opted to call.

The Q♠ turn then checked through to the 3♥ river. Shylko led out for 20,000, and Daubaris returned his cards to the dealer.

On the second table, Pablo Brito Silva was all in for around 68,000 and at risk to Robbie Toan. Both players held AxKx and chopped the pot after the runout.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Aliaksandr Shylko	120,000 30,000	30,000
