Day 1b of the �1,100 France Poker Series (FPS) Paris Main Event has been played to its conclusion here at the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris with Boris Angelov emerging as the leader after bagging 404,000 in chips.

Angelov has just over $150,000 in live-tournament earnings with his biggest cash coming back in 2021, wherein he placed 40th in the WSOPE Main Event for $34,869. Just behind Angelov is Nicklas Dehli (403,000), who was the only other player to bag over 400,000 in chips.

Also bagging big was Daniel Rezaei, who managed to secure 279,000 heading into Day 2. The Austrian poker pro will be looking to add to his over $3 million in live-tournament earnings as he chases his first EPT title.

Day 1b got underway with 27 players and by the time late registration ended, a total of 167 entrants had joined the fray. Of those, 25 earned a Day-2 berth and made the money. The exact amount of a min-cash will be determined after all starting flights have been completed.

The Day 2 bubble burst at the start of Level 18 after Reiji Kono shoved his short stack with king-trey and lost out to Humberto Lopes Galindo's ten-four.

Other notables who made it to Day 2 include Marcello Miniucchi (191,000), Cecile Ticherfatine (180,000), Pokerstars ambassador Felix Schneiders (151,000), and Maria Lampropulos (65,000).

Less fortunate players who fell short of the money include Benny Glaser, PokerStars ambassador Benjamin Spragg, Daniel Smiljkovic, Jose Manuel Gonzalez, and Jon Kyte, who was eliminated by Julien Groenendijk after shoving with a wheel draw and failing to improve late in the day.

Any players who didn't make it to Day 2 still have multiple chances as there are still four starting flights left. The next starting flight is Day 1c, which will begin at noon local time on Thursday, February 15. Day 2 will commence on February 17.
