The EPT Paris Main Event final table is coming closer to Brazilian player Carlos Ribeiro. After the conclusion of Day 3, he is one of the remaining 47 players. Following five 90-minute stages of ups and downs, the CL Poker Team member amassed 470,000 chips, or around 24 large blinds, the eighth-smallest stack in the event.
Carlos won a coin toss with barely minutes left on Day 3 to eliminate Atanas Malinov. With AQ against 1010, the Brazilian saw the board 3Q2Q3 and quadrupled his stack.
In contrast, Eduardo Silva was not spared by the deck and finished in 58th position. According to PokerNews coverage, the miner opened from the button and observed as Konstantin Held proclaimed a three-bet straight from the small blind. Once again taking action, Eduardo placed his stack of 40 bbs to the table’s middle. Afterwards, Held phoned and presented the AK. On the QK853 board, Eduardo stood little chance against the A4. He won a total of €18,650.
Gorki Oliveira, who was eliminated in 70th position, also departed the Hyatt Regency hotel with €18,650. Mateus Moraes was awarded €12,250 for finishing in 132nd position.
Held, Eduardo’s opponent, is next in line. He gained a comfortable 35-bet lead over his nearest opponent with 2,935,000 chips. Niklas Astedt (fifth, 1,795,000), Manig Loeser (seventh, 1,670,000), Arthur Conan (tenth, 1,550,000), Alex Kulev (twelfth, 1,475,000), Ben Heath (thirty-seventh, 515,000), and Teun Mulder (fortieth, 515,000) all advance (45th – 393,000).
The action resumes this coming Friday, the 24th, at 8:30am (Braslia) with a broadcast on the PokerStars Brasil YouTube account. The blinds and ante are 10,000/20,000 with BB. See the prizes at stake:
