EPT Paris 2026: the bubble bursts in the Main Event and Colavita is SuperMario

An extremely intense day, this day 2 of the EPT Paris 2026 Main Event. During this day of play, the tournament went through the gauntlet of the bubble burst, then moved on to day 3, where we will find 179 survivors.

The bubble burst at the expense of poor Daniel Custodio, a Portuguese player who showed up at the showdown armed with his KK, against the A8 suited of the Pole Wojciechowski, who had many more chips than him and found an A immediately on the flop to send everyone into the money. Everyone except Custodio, of course, meaning 215 players.

From that moment until the end of the day, the field thinned out by about forty players, including our Giuseppe Zarbo (209°) and Nicola Grieco (184°), both for a reward of 8.550€.

This is the top 10 which includes our Mario Colavita, author of a great gear change during day 2. In the lead is the Frenchman Bruno Fuentes, the only “millionaire” of the group:

The Italians on day 3

In addition to Colavita, 8 other Italians reach day 3. The Italian-French Minicuci and Enrico Coppola are the only ones in the top 50, while Treccarichi and Cappiello are among those who will restart below average. The details:

What they are playing for

The 179 remaining players will meet today in the halls of the Palais des Congrès for day 3 of the EPT Paris 2026 Main Event, hunting for the prizes that matter. For now, everyone has a guaranteed minimum cash of 9.850€, but the common dream is the trophy with the check for 1.148.600€ to accompany it. To get there, this will be the progression of the rewards:

3k Mystery Bounty: JWPRODIGY in the lead, nine Italians on day 2

643 players showed up at the starting line of Event #30, a 3.250€ NLHE EPT Mystery Bounty with 1.000€ of the buy-in destined for the mystery bounty prize pool. At the end of day 1, 152 remain but, here too, both figures are partial and will only become definitive at 12:20 today, when the late registration phase closes.

In the lead is the American pro Jordan Westmorland, an EPT veteran despite being just 35 years old. Some of you might remember him as the runner-up in Sanremo 2014 behind Vicky Coren. The ever-reliable “JWPRODIGY” leads with 417 thousand chips. Here are the details of the top 10:

Nine Italians reach day 2, and today they will begin their hunt for tokens to earn the right to draw mystery bounties. Stefano Achenza is the best of ours, in an Italian chip count that – in terms of names and quality – is worth a Main Event:
