Day 3 Play
Sirzat Hissou was the first to bust at today’s final table. The German decided to use some of his winnings to buy into the 25,000 NL Hold’em that is in play today. Next to leave the field was Markkos Ladev, who secured his largest-ever live cash in this event. He had an up and down day, and at one point was down to 35,000. He eventually grew his stack to more than 1,000,000 but was busted by Brewer.
Then it was 10,200 Mystery Bounty winner Duco ten Haven who added another impressive cash to his haul in Paris. Pieter Aerts was next to go in third place. The Belgian had previously cashed in the 2023 10,300 EPT Paris High Roller and the 2023 EPT Paris 3,000 Mystery Bounty.
Heads-Up Play
Santerne and Brewer traded the chip lead back and forth numerous times throughout the three-hour battle. The two switched places within ten minutes of each other in what proved to be a tense and hard-fought affair.
However, it proved to be Santerne’s day as he hit quads on the way to taking down the title. Brewer had won five preflop all-ins to double his short stack in numerous spots, but Santerne finally managed to win an all-in against the American before lifting the prestigious trophy.
