On Day 4 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris, EPT Paris for short, at the Palais des Congrès hosted by Club Barrière Paris, the originally 2.992-entry field of the PokerStars Open Main Events was reduced to just 44. 4 D-A-CH players are still in the mix. In addition, the €5.200 PL Omaha had to go into overtime and in the €25.000 Super High Roller Warmup, Klemens Roiter achieved the feat of making 3 final tables from 3 High Roller starts in this PokerStars Live Season! However, the biggest feat of the day was achieved in front of the cameras by Felix “xflixx” Schneiders, who finished the first day of play as 2nd chipleader among 1.649 entries in the PokerStars Open Cup!

Event #12: €25.000 Super High Roller Warm Up
The next High Roller event, the next final table cash for Klemens Roiter! In the €25.000 Super High Roller Warm Up, the Austrian successfully warmed up for the SHR event among 32 (24+8) entries and increased his High Roller final table record to 3 out of 3! With this consistency, he is a hot contender for the overall victory in the PokerStars Live League, which he only had to concede to Enrico Casmosci on the very last days of play in 2025.
On Saturday, after his 4th place (€88.400), Roiter had to leave the podium to other HR regs: Third place went to HS cash game icon Kayhan Mokri from Norway (€122.300). The runner-up spot was taken once again by Dimitar Danchev from Bulgaria (€184.400). There was a huge payday of €286.040 for Daniel Dvoress. The Canadian high roller will fondly remember this day in the Czech capital, with the Spade Trophy he received surely serving as a nice memento.

Event #13: €5.200 PL Omaha
The €5.200 PL Omaha tournament, originally scheduled for 1 day, goes into overtime today with the final 4 PLO cracks. Previously, 123 entries had created a prize pool of €602.700, to be divided among the top 17. A German-speaking player, Paul Haus, also finished in the money. The German was able to take home €12.500 in 12th place.
After Michail Manolakis from Greece had to bury his hopes for victory and the trophy in 5th place (€40.850) at the final table, the decision was postponed with 4 players remaining. – With 2.530.000 chips, Bulgarian Fahredin Mustafov is the clear chipleader ahead of the two mid-stacks Taago Tamm from Estonia and Anton Bergstrom from Sweden, who sit on 1.655.000 and 1.380.000 chips respectively. The short stack is Alexandre Reard from France with 585.000 chips. They are each already guaranteed €53.100, with €154.650 going to the winner.
