The €2,200 FPS High Roller Begins Today at Noon

Branding
Branding

The French Riviera is playing host to the 2023 PokerStars EPT presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® and the action is in full swing with the French Poker Series being the center of attention. The €2,200 FPS High Roller will begin today at 12:00 p.m. noon local time with Day 1a and will wrap up tomorrow when a champion is determined.

In the previous edition of the FPS High Roller in Monte Carlo, there were a total of 861 entries that generated a prize pool of over €1,700,000. It was Pascal Mouysset that topped the field, earning himself a cool €308,790 for his efforts. Some other notables that made a deep run include Yiannis Liperis, Bryan Paris, Jimmy Guerrero, and Motoyoshi Okamura.

Day 1a is scheduled to get the cards in the air at 12:00 p.m. noon local time, and each player will be given a starting stack of 30,000 chips. The blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante, and the levels will be 40 minutes in length throughout the event. There will be a 20-minute break after every three levels and a 75-minute dinner break scheduled for after Level 10.

This is an unlimited reentry event, and the late registration period will remain open until after the dinner break. Approximately 15% of the field will be played, and Day 1a will play until the money is reached. Day 1b will also be taking place later this evening in a turbo format, with the blind levels only 20 minutes in length. All players that make the money will return tomorrow for Day 2 and play down to a winner.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be here to bring you all of the live updates throughout the event en route to crowning a champion in just a couple of days.

A completed board of 965A9 was spread across the felt and two players had all of their chips in the middle. Diana Kalietina was the player at risk for 29,400 and her 66 were face up in front of her.

Her opponent, Mohammad Moayeri, flipped over his KK as he was forced to send over a double-up. Moayeri was left with just 2,000 chips after the hand and was soon heading out of the tournament area after being eliminated.

Salazar Sanchez Starts Strong

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez

Table 44 just recently opened with a few new entries joining the field with a 30,000 starting stack. However, Thao Nguyen Hong was moved from another table and was already down to just over 13,000 chips when he opened to 1,000 in middle position. The button flat-called and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez put his fresh stack to work by reraising to 6,200 in the small blind. Hong called and the button got out of the way.

The flop came Q53 and Salazar Sanchez continued with a bet of 2,500. Hong shoved all in for just over 7,000 and Salazar Sanchez snapped him off. Hong tabled K10 and Salazar Sanchez held AJ. The runout of 5, 7 changed nothing and Salazar Sanchez's ace-high was good enough to eliminate Hong.
