A method in a paper machine press section for dewatering a wet paper web by threading the web in an improved way and avoiding crushing or stretching the web structure through at least three nips of the press section. The invention is particularly characterized by following features of dewatering steps. The web while passing the press section through said three nips is all the time adhered to and supported by the surface of a felt or a roll without any open draws therebetween. Pressing the web in the first nip takes place between two felts and so the web is dewatered simultaneously through both sides of the web. Further dewatering and pressing steps take place in press nips which all are formed against a plain roll having a large diameter which enables a spacious location of the press rolls and their felts. Detaching the web from the surface of said plain roll for conducting the web into dryer section, takes place in a point allowing easy removal and handling in case of a web break.
