Christopher Brewer s’impose devant Jules Dickerson
The American wins his second High Roller… of the festival!
Super High Roller – 50 000 € (Day 3 et Finale)

Forty blinds on each side. When we set foot once more in the tournament room, we had no idea that the heads-up of this Super High Roller would only last a handful of minutes before our eyes. And yet. On the carpet, five cards are spread out: 98858. In front of Christopher Brewera black triangle with the inscription “All-in” has been deployed. Jules Dickerson gives the dealer all of his last “Time Bank” cards before pressing the “Call” button. The American turns over his cards: A8, for a flopped set turned square on the river. He didn’t even need to do that. Opposite, Jimmy Guerrero’s friend had paid with a single bluff catcherin this case, a pair of 6s. Jules only has one blind left following this move, which goes to Brewer’s side on a last anecdotal hand.

For his first foray into such an expensive Event, the last French-speaking player in this tournament pocketed a whopping €623,800. Regular events of this kind since the resumption of the post-Covid circuit, Chris Brewer signs him the biggest gain of his live career. A first place at €959,520, which comes… four days following his previous victory. Last Friday, on Event #7 at €25,000, the native of Oregon had triumphed once morest 32 other entrants, for a nice ticket of €357,180. Clearly, five days from the end of the festival, Christopher Brewer is sure to leave with a bigger check than the future winner of the Main Event. Wouldn’t we already have the MVP of this Parisian fortnight?

Prior to this heads-up rush, chips had moved from hand to hand to four and then three players remaining. Nick Petrangelo is the perfect example, swinging from short stack to chip leader in a few minutes thanks to the elimination of the Portuguese Pedro Marques. An ugly two outer river with two 9s once morest Jules Dickerson’s pair of 2s will precipitate his fall on the third step of the podium.
