Hunt for the WSOP-C Paris Main Event Ring Commences at 1:00 P.M.
For the second time ever after the PokerStars France Poker Series last year, the Stade Fran?ais Paris rugby team's stadium Stade Jean-Bouin hosts a poker tournament. From the 22nd to the 28th of May, players from all around France and Europe will compete to win one of the ten rings in play for WSOP Circuit Paris 2024 by Texapoker and Partouche.
The series already started a few days ago with a �250 WSOP-C Online Event on Winamax.fr. Out of a field of 5,094 entrants, Constantin "CNLAU" Lau won a massive pot at 10 players left, took the lead, and never lost it until the end at 6 a.m. He secured a total of �110,764 and the first 2024 WSOP Circuit Paris ring.
Yesterday, after a two-day event, the first live ring was awarded to Samuel Fournier, who was crowned the winner of the �550 WSOP-C Cup for �45,400. There were 610 entrants in this tournament. Additionally, 110 entrants participated in the �2,400 WSOP-C High Roller event, which will conclude today.
