Ils étaient 895 lors de la première édition pour le sacre de Jean Montury (Saison 11) et encore 651 lors de la Saison 12 pour la victoire de Niall Farrell. Alors que les inscriptions sont ouvertes jusqu'à l'entame du Jour 2 de l'European Poker Tour Malta Saison 13 by PokerStars, mardi à midi, l'affluence provisoire du tournoi n'est que de 459 joueurs soit une baisse de presque 50%.
Après un départ timide, et 134 entrants lors du Jour 1A, ce sont 325 joueurs qui ont disputé le Jour 1B, lundi au Casino Portomaso de Malte. Au maximum 162 rescapés ont emballé des jetons à l'issue de 8 niveaux de 75 minutes. Ils rejoignent les 61 survivants de dimanche pour former un groupe provisoire de 223 ambitieux.
Chipleader à l'issue du Jour 1A avec 185 100 jetons, Dan Shak a perdu son trône. Andras Nemeth a pris le pouvoir en montant 192 700 jetons lors du Jour 1B. Le Hongrois est néanmoins le seul joueur du field à avoir dépassé l'Américain.
De nombreux réguliers du circuit se sont glissés parmi les joueurs qui ont multiplié leur tapis de départ par quatre ou plus, soit un tapis approchant les 120 000 jetons. Le Suédois Mats Karlsson, l'Ukrainien Eugene Katchalov, le Gallois Robert Romanello, la joueuse PMU Poker Poker Sarah Herzali, les Winamax Davidi Kitai et Guillaume Diaz ou encore le vainqueur de l'IPT Malta Ismael Bojang ont franchi cette marque.
Juste derrière on retrouve la joueuse Thi Nguyen ou encore Asker Aloev, déjà vainqueur de deux sides ici à Malte, et Mikita Badziakouski qui s'était illustré sur un high-roller en début de festival. Ludovic Geilich, Dominik Panka, Dietrich Fast et Anton Morgenstern ont aussi réalisé une belle journé.
Martin Staszko, Benny Spindler, Pierre Calamusa, Pierre Merlin, Erwann Pecheux, Johan Guilbert et Gaëlle Baumann ont franchi le premier obstacle au contraire de Jake Cody, éliminé sur la dernière main. Vainqueur à Barcelona après s'être qualifié pour 27€, Sebastian Malec a chuté d'entrée, tout comme Adam Owen, Allan Sannier, Valentin Messina, Adrien Delmas, Alexander Lakhov, Yorane Kerignard, Antoine Saout, Emil Patel, Tobias Peters, Quentin Lecomte, Arnaud Peyroles, Kitty Kuo, Niall Farrell, Jimmy Guerrero, Romain Lewis, Gilles Huet ou Jan Bendik.
Rendez-vous mardi à partir de midi pour suivre le Jour 2 de l'EPT Malta.
