The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris €50,000 Super High Roller was won by Frenchman Thomas Santerne. The largest buy-in event of the EPT Paris schedule attracted 51 entries of the world’s poker elite to Le Palais des Congrès in Paris. Of those, 13 reentered into this crème de la crème lineup.
Santerne, who defeated runner-up Chris Brewer in a heads up duel that took 3 hours, scooped €889,000 of the €2,916,480 prize pool. Santerne's victory is his first live Super High Roller tournament win. Brewer was looking to go for back-to-back wins in this event, having claimed the title in this event last year.
Santerne said after winning: "It's incredible, I feel a lot of emotion, it's an insane title to win. All the players play well so it feels really great." He isn't going to be resting after this win; he said, "I'll be playing the Main Event, the €10k and maybe the €25k," before heading off to the next Triton stop. He credited Brewer, saying, "he's a great opponent, and it was crazy to win against him."

Day 3 Play
Sirzat Hissou was the first to bust at today's final table. The German decided to use some of his winnings to buy into the €25,000 NL Hold'em that is in play today. Next to leave the field was Markkos Ladev, who secured his largest-ever live cash in this event. He had an up and down day, and at one point was down to 35,000. He eventually grew his stack to more than 1,000,000 but was busted by Brewer.
Then it was €10,200 Mystery Bounty winner Duco ten Haven who added another impressive cash to his haul in Paris. Pieter Aerts was next to go in third place. The Belgian had previously cashed in the 2023 €10,300 EPT Paris High Roller and the 2023 EPT Paris €3,000 Mystery Bounty.
Heads-Up Play
Santerne and Brewer traded the chip lead back and forth numerous times throughout the three-hour battle. The two switched places within ten minutes of each other in what proved to be a tense and hard-fought affair.
However, it proved to be Santerne's day as he hit quads on the way to taking down the title. Brewer had won five preflop all-ins to double his short stack in numerous spots, but Santerne finally managed to win an all-in against the American before lifting the prestigious trophy.
Even though this tournament has ended, there are still many more events to come from here in Paris. Stay tuned to PokerNews for continued coverage from 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris.

: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Chris Brewer jammed his final 1,700,000 chips from the button and a quick call followed from Thomas Santerne in the big blind.
Chris Brewer: K♥6♥
Thomas Santerne: 9♥8♥
The 3♦3♥10♠ flop remained clean for Brewer, but the 9♠ river saw Santerne pair up to take the lead. The 5♠ river did not change anything for either player, which meant that Brewer was left without any chips.
He fell one place short of defending his title but will take home €583,300 as a consolation prize.

Thomas Santerne limped his button and Chris Brewer checked his option in the big blind. The Q♣5♥5♦ was fanned out and Brewer checked to Santerne, who made a bet of 200,000.
Brewer then raised to 800,000 and Santerne obliged with a call. Another 550,000 chips were bet by Brewer on the Q♠ turn and Santerne stuck around once more with a call.
On the K♥ river, Brewer went back to his sizing of 800,000, after which Santerne announced his all-in to put Brewer at risk.
Brewer could only shake his head and roll his eyes as he dramatically folded his hand and dove back to 20 big blinds.

Thomas Santerne limped in from the button and Chris Brewer checked the big blind.
