Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stanislaw Grodek moved all in for 540,000 from the cutoff, and the action folded to Tjenno Eskes in the small blind. Eskes asked for the exact count before moving all in as well, prompting the big blind to fold.

Stanislaw Grodek: 7♥7♣ All in
Tjenno Eskes: 10♠10♣

Grodek needed a seven to stay alive, but the 10♥8♣4♥ flop left him in tough position as Eskes improved to a set. The 8♦ on the turn sealed Grodek's fate with Eskes making a full house, and the 3♦ river confirmed Grodek's elimination in 24th place.

PokerStars and Club Barrière have announced the cancellation of the European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris 2025, which was originally scheduled to run from February 12-23 at Le Palais des Congrès.

The cancellation is part of a broader uncertainty surrounding Paris’s gaming landscape. Recent developments indicate that gaming clubs in the city, which have operated under strict regulations since 2019, are at risk of closure by the end of the year.

The announcement comes as a shock, particularly after the news comes exactly a month since the unveiling of the 2025 EPT schedule.

EPT Paris was slated to kick off the tour's new season, returning for its third year after record-breaking attendance in 2024.

Paul Runcan opened from under the gun to 60,000 and Pascal Vos shoved from the next seat for 275,000. When it got back to Runcan, he debated for a while, then called.

Pascal Vos: 9♠9♥ All in
Paul Runcan: J♦10♥

Runcan was pleased to find himself in a flip, and even more pleased after he paired his ten on the 4♥A♥10♠ flop. Only a nine could save Vos, but neither the 5♠ turn or K♠ river could save him, and he was out in 25th.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

When it folded to Lasse Hansen in the small blind he shoved for roughly 200,000 with only Pawel Wojciechowski to get through in the big blind. Wojciechowski looked at his cards and called to put Hansen at risk.

Lasse Hansen: J♠8♣ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: K♠2♥

Hansen needed some help from the dealer to stay alive. He got it on the J♥8♥5♥ flop as he improved to two pair, but Wojciechowski had a flush draw. The K♦ turn gave Wojciechowski even more outs, as the 7♥ peeled off on the river to give Wojciechowski the winner with a flush. Wojciechowski pulled in the pot and Hansen was out.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Siegfried Kapeller opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from the button, and Umberto Ruggeri defended his big blind.

The flop came 10♦A♦2♦, and Ruggeri check-called Kapeller’s 40,000 continuation bet.

On the 9♥ turn, Kapeller ramped up the pressure with a bet of 210,000. Ruggeri, unfazed, made the call.

The 4♣ river saw Ruggeri check again, and Kapeller fired a final bet of 400,000. Ruggeri called without hesitation, prompting Kapeller to reveal A♠K♥ for top pair. However, Ruggeri turned over J♦8♦ for a flopped flush, scooping the pot and leaving Kapeller visibly deflated.

Pawel Wojciechowski shoved for 325,000 from under the gun and when the action got to Lasse Hansen in the big blind, he called.

Pawel Wojciechowski: K♠10♦ All in
Lasse Hansen: K♦J♣

Wojciechowski was way behind and a big favorite to be eliminated. The flop of 3♠A♠2♥ didn't give much help, but the K♣ brought around some chop possibilities. However, instead of a chop, Wojciechowski took it all on the 10♥ river as he made two pair, much to the dismay of Hansen.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With the board showing 3♠Q♠7♣10♣, Ken Oberlieben checked from the big blind and then faced a bet of 50,000 from Joshua McSwiney out of the cutoff. Oberlieben check-shoved for roughly 250,000, and McSwiney snap-called.

Ken Oberlieben: 10♦7♥ All in
Joshua McSwiney: Q♦J♥

Oberlieben had turned two pair against the top pair of McSwiney and was in great shape to double up if he could fade the river. However, the board-pairing 3♦ dropped on the river to give McSwiney a higher two pair. Oberlieben wished the table good luck as he was sent to the payout desk.

Joshua McSwiney opened from the button to 60,000 with only Anton Bergstrom calling from the big blind.

Bergstrom check-called a bet of 35,000 from Mcswiney on the J♠10♥4♥ flop.

The two players checked a 8♠ turn for the J♣ to land on the river. Bergstrom fired out a bet of 105,000, which caused McSwiney to go into the tank. After going through one of his time bank cards, McSwiney made the call.

Bergstrom showed a busted flush draw with 9♥2♥. McSwiney had that beat with 8♣7♠ for just a pair of eights.

Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Carmelo Donato defended out of the big blind.

The two players checked a flop of 8♦5♥7♥ to see the 3♦ fall on the turn. Donato led out for 35,000 and Sokolovsky called.

Donato bet 180,000 when the 4♠ hit the river and was snap-called by Sokolovsky.

Donato sheepishly turned over J♦10♦ for a busted flush draw. Sokolovsky showed A♠6♦ for a rivered straight and the pot was pushed towards him.
