Mohamed Mamouni opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and was called by Alexis Ibarrola in the big blind.
Ibarrola check-called a 2,000 bet from Mamouni on the 9♣7♠9♣ flop and then both players checked on the 10♦ river.
The 6♥ filled the river and Ibarrola fired 4,000 into the middle. Mamouni quickly called and Ibarrola tabled 5♣8♣ for a rivered straight.
Mamouni couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Ibarrola.
Enzo Enzo raised and then called the shove by Alain Zeitoun for what appeared to be around 9,500.
Alain Zeitoun: A♦10♦
Enzo Enzo: A♣J♠
The superior kicker played on the Q♦9♠4♥5♠7♦ runout to send Zeitoun to the rail.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Today begins the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT). Thousands have descended on Paris for a 12-day poker extravaganza.
After a successful kick-off last year, PokerStars has picked up some valuable lessons, ensuring an even better player experience this time around. The exciting news: the off-the-felt activities are making a comeback, promising a ton of fun beyond the poker tables. Here's what's in store for those making the trip to the French capital city.
Players in the field are now on a 20-minute break.
The field is now up to 368 entries. Of those, 316 players remain in contention.
On a heads-up flop of K♦5♦4♦, Henri Benoni was all-in for around 20,200 from under the gun. Cristian David looked him up in the cutoff with the marginally covering stack and the cards were revealed.
Henri Benoni: 6♦6♠
Cristian David: A♣A♠
When the 7♥ came on the turn, David could all but chuckle as Benoni picked up even more outs. However, the J♠ river was a blank and Benoni was knocked out.
On a completed board of J♥9♦5♥10♠8♥ with around 21,000 in the middle, Tom Kunze pushed all-in with the covering stack. Tamer Kamel called and was shown the A♥10♥ for the nut flush. He briefly exposed 5♠5♦ for a set and left the tournament area.
Dumitru Pora opened to 1,400 from under the gun and was called by Mohamed Kerkeni in the hijack, Sutharsan Ariyanayagam in the small blind, and Bernat Capdevila in the big blind for a four-way pot.
It was checked to Kerkeni on the 3♠6♦Q♣ flop and he bet 1,200. Sutharsan called and everyone else folded.
Both players checked on the 4♥ turn and Sutharsan tossed a single 1,000-denomination chip into the middle after the A♠ completed the board.
Kerkeni took some time and put in a raise to 4,900, which got a quick fold from Sutharsan.
