EPT Monte Carlo Continues with Day 1b of €1,100 FPS Main Event
The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte Carlo taking place at Sporting Monte-Carlo kicked off today with the €1,100 France Poker Series Main Event. Day 1a, the first of the four starting flights, got underway this afternoon with its turbo counterpart, Day 1b, set to kick off at 6 pm.
The same event last year drew a former record-breaking field of 2,138 entries which saw the eventual winner Daisuke Ogita claim the trophy and the lion’s share of the €2,052,480 prize pool. Ogita defeated France’s Rubens Sellam in heads-up play, taking home a massive €307,160 for his efforts.

Redjdal Wins an Early One
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The pot stood at approximately 800 with three players looking at a flop of 3♥K♦10♥.
All three players elected to check through to the J♦ on the turn. Joachim Meisolle, in the small blind, took the lead for 200. Nina Krasilnikova, in the big blind, elected to fold and Romeric Redjdal, in the cutoff, put in a raise to 1,400, prompting a swift fold.

Alm Bo Scoops a Big One
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The pot stood at 16,500 with both the blinds looking at a full board of 7♥8♦6♣9♦4♠.
Tommy Alm Bom, in the small blind, bet out for 11,000. Abdelaziz Drias, in the big blind, made a quick call.
Alm Bom took his time before finally tabling 10♦2♥ for a turned straight, much to Drias' frustration.

Early Ones for Halby and Cibicek
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Michel Halby opened to 300 from the button and Jozef Cibicek defended his big blind.
The K♥K♦8♦ flop was checked through by both players.
On the Q♠ turn, Cibicek check-folded versus a bet of 600 from Halby.
In the next hand, action folded to Cibicek in the small blind, who raised to 400. Julien Pavon called in the big blind.
The 6♦5♦4♦ flop was checked through by both players.
On the 9♣ turn, Cibecek led out with a bet of 1,100, which earned a swift fold from Pavon.

Trela Good at Showdown
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Around 1,000 was in the middle on a board of 2♣10♥7♦6♦ when Yves Piacentino put out a bet of 500, only to be faced with a raise to 2,100 by Jean Marc Cristiani.
Stephane Trela cold-called in the big blind and Piacentino quickly folded.
The A♣ river slowed matters down as both players checked. Trela showed 10♣9♥ for a pair of tens and that was good enough to cause Cristiani to muck his hand.
