Action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the small blind who pushed forward a tower of chips to put Jesse Lonis all in from the big blind. Lonis snap-called for 457,000.
Jesse Lonis: A?Q?
Stephen Chidwick: A?6?
Lonis had Chidwick dominated and pulled further ahead on the Q?5?10? flop with top pair. The board ran out 3?Q? and Lonis ended up with trips to double up.
Lonis gave back some of his newfound chips the next hand after Sam Greenwood raised to 48,000 in the cutoff. Lonis three-bet to 160,000, Greenwood moved all in for around 520,000, and Lonis quickly folded.

The action folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the small blind. He open-jammed, covering the 448,000 chips big blind Adrian Mateos had in his possession. Mateos immediately called and the two showed down.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q?5?
Adrian Mateos: A?J?
Mateos avoided disaster as the board ran out cleanly; 2?K?3?8?K? hit the felt. He raked in a big double up and left Ponakovs with just over 20 big blinds to play with on the bubble.

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.
Jean-Noel Thorel was under the gun but accidentally had the A? exposed and discarded. He ended up limping in again as the table folded to Alex Kulev who moved all in for 231,000 in middle position. Thorel snap-called.
Alex Kulev: K?Q?
Jean-Noel Thorel: A?K?
Thorel had woken up with another big hand and had Kulev dominated. The board ran out 5?10?4?8?4? and Kulev was eliminated as Thorel said he would've have two aces if he kept the discarded one.

Sam Greenwood: A?K?
Adrian Mateos: 10?10?
Greenwood caught the K? on the flop, but it was followed by J?10? as Mateos made a set. The 8? turn left Greenwood a card away from elimination, but he spiked the Q? on the river to make a straight and double up.
