Ferreira, Sitbon Among Players Returning for Day 2 in €10,300 EPT Paris High Roller
Day 2 of the €10,300 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris High Roller picks back up today at 12:30 p.m. local time inside the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile and will see 173 players returning. Registration remains open until the start of day, so there should be several players sitting down with a fresh starting stack of 50,000 as blinds start off at 1,000/1,500/1,500.
Japan dominated the play on Day 1 as two Japanese players topped the counts with Kazuhiki Yotsushika bagging the chip lead with 433,000, followed closely by Jun Obara with 401,000. Joining them in top ten counts are several notables, including France's Julien Sitbon and Portugal's Rui Ferreira, who is after another big live score after taking down an EPT Barcelona high roller in August 2022 for $772,454 and more recently chopping 2023 PCA $25,000 8-Handed for $664,820.
