Sergio Aido entered Day 3 as the smallest stack, but a double up in the first orbit gave him some ammunition. Poker notables Sam Greenwood, Daniel Dvoress, Mikita Badziakouski, and Charlie Carrell cashed the event, but it was Aido who took home the first place prize of €1,589,190.
Daniel Rezaei walked out of the tournament room with a stunned smile on the face and asked "do you want to have something for your coverage?" and then proceeded to provide a snapshot of his last hand.
Short, Rezaei had been all in with 
against the 
of Marton Czuczor, who wanted to muck his cards on a 
flop. The incredible 
turn and 
river run out gave Czuczor quads and Rezaei a bad beat story to tell.

Jacquelyn Scott is not exactly what her opponents expect when they see her sitting at the poker table, and she's quite okay with that. The 2015 WSOP Ladies Event winner has been able to capitalize on her image, and is having a blast in the process here at her first EPT event ever at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour festival.
“Being a woman, and being my age, you’re always going to be underestimated. That’s been a real advantage for me this tournament.”
There were some constants on Day 2 of the €1,100 French National Championship, among them, Jacquelyn Scott cracking jokes and stacking chips.
Her opponents will be sorely mistaken and may pay dearly - in chips - for their error if they think Scott is clueless, or weak, or afraid of them. READ MORE at the PokerNews homepage.
With plenty of chips already in the middle and the turn showing 
, Raffaello Locatelli checked in the hijack and Nick Pupillo made it 7,500 to go, which Locatelli called with around as much behind. Locatelli checked blind and Pupillo bet the 
river for 9,000.
Locatelli called all in and Pupillo turned over 
, which resulted in a "damn, you are so good" by Locatelli. He mucked his cards, but as per all in situation rules, the 
were exposed.
Further notables on the table include [Removed:510], Afshin Taheri and Mazin Khoury.

Loosli was the shortest stack heading into the six-person final table on Day 3 of the 2019 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT €10,300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller. Charlie Carrel was the dominant chip leader with a 8:1 lead on Sylvain's stack. However, Loosli played steady and fought his way to the first place prize of €198,610.
Thiago Signorelli Viana has knocked out the second player on Day 1a and level three is barely finished. His latest victim was Marcuss Liow, who ended up all in for just 8,000 on the 
flop.
Marcuss Liow: 
Thiago Signorelli Viana: 
The turn and 
river were both blanks and Liow headed back to the cash game tables, he will return for Day 1b the next day in order to take another shot.

Kalidou Sow just scooped a nice pot to boost his stack on a table that hosts several well-known players on the international poker circuit such as PSPC champion Ramon Colillas and Sam Grafton.
With 2,100 in the middle and the flop showing 
, Mikhail Soltanov in the big blind check-raised from 900 to 2,300 and Sow called. The 
on the turn brought a bet of 4,300 by Soltanov and a call by Sow. Soltanov slowed down on the 
river and Sow made it 9,500 to go, which was quickly called.
Sow rolled over the 
for two pair and that won the pot.

Andrey Andreev is out (for the moment at least) after flopping top set with pocket-sevens on a 
flop but running into the made straight held by Afshin Taheri with 
in the hole. With no help on the turn or river for the Russian, he will have to re-enter to stay in contention.
It is great news for Taheri though, with the Iranian more than doubling what he started the day with. His good run has not gone unnoticed by his opponents either, with Raffaello Locatelli proclaiming him the "set destroyer" before promising to fold any sets against him.

Erwin Wiechers had won his entry to the Main Event in a live satellite and quickly lost a big portion of his stack with aces versus queens according to Theodore McQuilkin. Things got even worse for the Dutchman, as he has become the second casualty of the day.
A raise and three callers saw Wiechers squeeze the small blind and Thiago Signorelli Viana in the cutoff reraised. Wiechers jammed for the last 12,000 and was snap-called.
Erwin Wiechers: 
Thiago Signorelli Viana: 
The board came 
and Wiechers was eliminated. Paul Klann also hit the rail soon after to make it three bustouts in the first two levels so far.

On the tail end of a bigger pot between Fady Kamar and Yake Wu, the latter paid off a hefty bet of what appeared to be 14,000 with the board showing . Kamar rolled over for the straight flush and even the dealer gasped out a "woah."
