EPT Paris 2026 sees one of its most anticipated events get into full swing. We are talking about the PokerStars Open, which in this Parisian version has nearly reached three thousand entrants and is on the eve of a Day 2 that will welcome 448 qualifiers today. Of these, 34 are Italians and one of them goes by the name of Enrico Camosci…
EPT Paris: nearly 3 thousand entries for the PokerStars Open, and Camosci is there too!
Yesterday, the last two flights of the 1.650€ PokerStars Open took place, one of the most popular events in the EPT Paris 2026 festival. In total, 1.347 entrants passed through the tables of the Palais des Congres distributed over two flights. The final number of entries for this tournament is therefore 2.992, for a prize pool generated of more than 4,3 million euros. Let’s see how Day 1E and Day 1F went.
Day 1E
Day 1E gave a further boost to the number of entries for the 1.650€ PokerStars Open of this EPT Paris 2026, with 824 entrants and 124 qualifiers. There are no Italians in the top 10, but the group of Italian players qualified from this flight is still quite large, as well as being composed of important names:

Day 1F
Speaking of important names, Day 1F then offered us an Enrico Camosci unusually greedy even at a buy-in level he doesn’t usually frequent. The Bolognese star lined up for the sixth flight of the PokerStars Open, sweeping up opponents’ chips and finishing the day in first place out of the 78 who managed to qualify in a field of 523 entrants. Following “Camosh” is Felice Bucci, while Paolo Boi completes the Italian trio in the top 10:
