Petrangelo chipleader, Antonius, Negreanu, Elky, Kitai et Dan Smith au Jour 3
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Avec 11 inscriptions tardives avant l'entame du Jour 2, dont celle de Michel Cohen 3e du Senior Event la veille, l'affluence du Main Event PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® à 5300€ l'entrée est montée à 727 entrants.
Ils étaient donc 329 à s'asseoir lundi midi pour la deuxième journée de compétition qui a permis l'entrée dans les 143 places payées et un gain minimum de 7 580€. C'est d'ailleurs Davidi Kitai qui a fait sauter le bubble-boy Salvatore Candido Graziano (debout sur la photo ci-dessous) en table télévisée sur un flip avec 
contre 
.
Bart Lybaert, Isaac Haxton, Walid Bou Habib, Jean Montury, Dermot Blain, Aurelien Guiglini, Fatima Moreira de Melo, Max Lykov, Charlie Carrel, Andrew Chen, Dan Smith et Sam Grafton ont sauté lors du Jour 2. Natasha Mercier, Luke Schwartz, Dario Sammartino, Byron Kaverman, Timothy Adams, Adrian Mateos Diaz, Steve O'Dwyer, Jussi Nevanlinna, Aliaksei Boika, Gaelle Baumann, Aladin Reskallah, Keven Stammen, Igor Kurganov, Ole Schemion, Sylvain Loosli ou encore Craig Varnell n'ont pas vu non plus la couleur du prizepool de 3 525 950 €. C'est terminé aussi pour le Breton Adrien Allain, runner-up l'an passé.
Tout ces joueurs ne verront pas non plus la couleur du premier prix de 500 800€, mais il reste encore énormément de beau monde en lice. Les vieilles gloires du jeu n'ont pas dit leur dernier mot puisque Daniel Negreanu et surtout Patrik Antonius, qui cumule 6,8 millions de gains mais n'a réalisé qu'un seul cash depuis sa 5e place sur un High Roller del'Aussie Millions 2014, sont en pleine forme.
Le Finlandais a éliminé Benjamin Pollak pour lancer sa journée, il termine dans le Top 10 (452 000) tout comme le Team Pro PokerStars (300 000). C'est un joueur plus jeune sur le circuit qui a dominé les débats lors du Jour 2 : Nick Petrangelo. L'Américain est en tête du classement GPI et surfe sur une vague de confiance depuis de longs mois. Plus discret que Fedor Holz ou Steve O'Dwyer, il pointe à 562 000 jetons alors que les blindes passeront à 2000-4000 (500) avec une moyenne à 160 000 jetons, mardi.
Dan Smith(333 000), Davidi Kitai (180 000), Jack Salter (141 000), Chris Vogelsang (129 000) sont eux aussi toujours en course tout comme Maria Ho (78 000), Liv Boeree (64 000) ou encore Martin Jacobson (53 000) sont aussi toujours là, prêts à tenter de profiter des niveaux de 90 minutes qui débutent au Jour 3.
Dans les gros tapis, on retrouve toujours les Français Michael Kolkowicz (470,500) et Fabrice Soulier (364,500). Mark Teltscher (408,000), Stefan Schillhabel (402,000) Sebastian Malec (382,500), Andreas Klatt (375,000), Manig Loeser (323,500) et Hossein Ensan (290,000) ont aussi encore beaucoup de profondeur. Celina Lin (200,500), Romain Lewis (126 000) et Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier (121,500) ne sont pas mal non plus.
Reprise du jeu à midi mardi, en direct sur PokerStars Live et surPokerNews avec 134 joueurs et 24 Français en lice dont Alexandre luneau, [Removed:43], Paul Testud, Carole Segoura, Jean Jacques Zeitoun, Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes, Romain Nardin, Jimmy Guerrero ou Isabel Baltazar et Johan "YoH_Viral" Guilbert...

Graziano Loses Flip to Bubble the Main Event
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Over on the feature table, Salvatore Candido Graziano moved all in for his last 28,100 from the small blind after an open to 6,000 by Patrik Antonius and Davidi Kitai called in the big blind, Antonius folded. Graziano pondered around the table, waiting for all other tables to complete.
Once all tables were done, the cards were turned over and it was the most classic flip in the history of poker.
Salvatore Candido Graziano: 
Davidi Kitai:
The 
flop improved Kitai to a pair of aces, and the 
turn and 
river changed nothing whatsoever to let the bubble burst.

A Double Up for Ho
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Right after Koja departed in 145th place, the cameramen, interested players and reporters moved over to Maria Ho's table. With the bubble now officially on, she was all in and at risk to go out without any money earned.
The board was already out and Ho soon revealed to have the nuts. With 
on the table, she had nothing to fear with her . Her opponent turned over 
and doubled up Ho.
Still bubble, still hand for hand.
