The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour is in full swing at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Spa, with the $5,300 Main Event currently midway through Day 2.
After late registration closed earlier, the series showstopper recorded 1,284 entries and generated a $6,227,400 prize pool, of which more than $1 million awaits the eventual champion. One player looking to do all it takes to become the next EPT Champion is Peter Tschernigg. The Austrian poker player has just over $30,000 in live earnings and found himself in a horrible spot preflop, with the tournament just a few dozen eliminations away from the money.
During Level 13 (blinds 1,000/2,500/2,500bba), Mihai Niste opened the action to 5,000 before Boris Tabiyev three-bet from the hijack. The action folded to Peter Tschernigg in the big blind, who four-bet to 31,500. Niste got out of the way ahead of Tabiyev, jamming all in for 132,000.
Tschernigg went deep into the tank, mulling his options for several minutes.
"You have aces?" asked Tschernigg. "I have kings."
Tschernigg extended his thinking time, ultimately calling the clock on himself. As the countdown began, he peeked at his cards one final time and opened-folded K♠K♥to gasps at the table.
"Do you really want to see it?" asked Tabiyev. Tschernigg and the rest of the table agreed.
It turned out that Tschernigg's radar was spot on, as Tabiyev revealed A♦A♣.
"Wow! What am I playing? Get me out of here," exclaimed Casimir Seire. "Me too," added Nicolas Chouity.
"I don't know if we're playing the same game," continued Seire as Tschernigg lapped the compliments for his fold.
At the time of writing, both players were still in contention to make the money, where 209 players remain.
