Two more high roller events have taken place at EPT Paris, and some familiar faces have left the star-studded fields in their wake once again.
Teun Mulder picked up his first live PokerStars win of the year while Daniel Dvoress claimed his second title of the series, just days after prevailing in €25,000 NL Hold’em II.
Also among the latest winners in the French capital is 2017 Irish Open champion Griffin Benger. The Canadian sprinted to first place in last night’s €1,050 NLHE Hyper Turbo.
Another EPT Title for Mulder
At the EPT Prague festival in December 2023, Mulder claimed the top spot on the Netherlands’ All Time Money List. He’s now furthered the gap between himself and Jorryt van Hoof after getting his fourth victory under the EPT umbrella here at Les Palaias des Congres.
Mulder overcame Imad Derwiche in heads-up play to take down Event #22: €25,000 NLHE and bag the €389,870 up top.
The tournament had a prize pool of €1,199,520 thanks to the 51 entries and saw the final seven players make the money.

EPT Paris Hands of the Week: A Case of Quads and a Straight Flush Runout
Dvoress Crosses $29M Mark
Benjamin Franklin famously wrote, ‘Nothing is certain except death, taxes and Daniel Dvoress crushing EPTs.’ Okay, that last bit may be a new addition from us at PokerNews, but when Dvoress takes a seat at the iconic blue felt, history often repeats itself.
His latest €25K appearance resulted in his arm being raised once again, and netted him a further €275,780 in prize money. After overcoming the equally talented Adrian Mateos in the final showdown, his six-figure payout propelled him across the $29 million mark in live tournament earnings.
Dvoress’ jaunt in Paris has proved fruitful, with four cashes and two wins seeing him paid out a total of €885,570 since the festival began on Valentine’s Day.
