Guillaume Diaz chipleader avant le Jour 3, Sarah Herzali et Guillaume Valle Top 10
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Huit retardataires ont profité de la possibilité de s'inscrire jusqu'à l'entame du Jour 2 pour participer au plus petit petit Main Event European Poker Tour depuis l'EPT Copenhague en 2012 (299 joueurs). Avec ces 8 joueurs, ce sont finalement 468 entrées qui ont été enregistrées pour l'avant dernière étape du circuit PokerStars créant un prizepool de 2 269 800€ (min-cash de 8 070€).
La désaffection des joueurs pour l'EPT Malta 2016 n'a pas empêché les 241 joueurs de se jeter avec force dans la bataille du Jour 2. Une bataille qui s'est étalée sur 6 niveaux de 75 minutes et a amené les 90 survivants du tournoi aux portes des 87 places payées. La partie reprendra mercredi à midi sur les blindes 2000-4000 (500) et la bulle devrait donc rapidement exploser.
Guillaume Diaz doit plutôt rêver des 355 700€ promis au vainqueur, samedi. Le Team Pro Winamax est en tête du classement provisoire avec 583 500 jetons. Le Français devance finalement Gianfranco Visalli (518 000) et Peter Ockenden (469,500) après que les Français aient animé la journée.
Guillaume Valle (363 000) a emballé des jetons après avoir été en tête à la première pause du Jour 2. La Team Pro PMU Poker Poker Sarah Herzali a elle ensaché 362 000 après avoir entamé la dernière pause de la journée avec la casaque du leader.
Xixiang Luo (390,000), Dmitry Yurasov (358,000), Elie Saad (302,000), Martin Stazko (244 500), Walter Treccarichi (233 000) et Eugene Katchalov (284,000) ont monté de jolis tapis tout comme Sylvain Loosli (89 000) et Benjamin Pollak (224 000), tous les deux en queue de peloton à l'issue du Jour 1. Les anciens vainqueurs EPT Dominik Panka (365,000), Davidi Kitai (284,500), Frederik Jensen (191,500), Jean Montury (85,000) et Roberto Romanello (82,000) sont toujours en course.
Ils seront donc 7 Français au départ du Jour 3 puisque Thibault Letort (114,000) s'ajoute aux joueurs déjà cités. Ces tricolores devraient tous entrer dans l'argent sauf accident.
13 autres représentants du poker hexagonal ont rendu les armes lors d'une journée qui avait commencé avec l'élimination de William Kassouf avec les 
contre les 
... comme sur le Main Event WSOP. Pierre Calamusa, Gaëlle Baumann, Fabrice Soulier, Erwann Pecheux, Pierre Merlin, Damien Luis, Johan Guilbert, Ivan Deyra ont sauté tout comme Jakub Michalak, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Georgios Zisimopoulos, George Danzer, Koray Aldemir, Paul-Francois Tedeschi, Mikhail Petrov, Russell Thomas ou Stefan Jedlicka.
Pasi Sormunen, le chipleader à l'entame du Jour 2 Andras Nemeth ou encore Asker Aloev, Ludovic Geilich, Alexandros Kolonias et Paul Newey devront aller à Prague sur l'ultime étape de l'histoire de l'EPT pour ajouter une ligne à leur palmarès.
Il reste néanmoins une tonne de joueurs à suivre dont nos Français qui ont de grandes ambitions. Ne manquez pas l'action sur le coverage en direct du Casino Portomaso dès midi mardi.

Dietrich Fast Doubles During Hand-For-Hand
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
It's always a tense atmosphere in a hand-for-hand situation, and Dietrich Fast's all in was no different. The winner of the €10,300 High Roller earlier this week jammed 19,000 from the button and fellow countryman Louis Cartarius looked him up in the big blind.
It took minutes before the hands on all the other tables were finished, which gave the railbirds and camera's plenty of time to swamp the table. Eventually, the hand went to showdown.
Dietrich Fast: 
Louis Cartarius: 
The densely packed crowd gathered to watch the 
flop being dealt.
"You can all go now," laughed Fast.
Fast's remark obviously opened the door for a jinx, and sure enough did the 
on the turn give Cartarius some straight outs. The river wasn't the ten he was looking for, and Fast doubled up.

Five More Hands
Niveau 14

The clock has been stopped, five more hands will be played in hand-for-hand mode. Will the bubble burst today?
Van Brugge Doubles Through Schlott
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Blind on blind, Felix Schlott and Kees van Brugge got it all in. From the big blind, Van Brugge was at risk with only 26,800 in chips.
He had and had to hold against Schlott's 
. The 
flop gave Schlott a five but Van Brugge paired his ace.
"Queen me", asked Schlott to the dealer. However, he did not hit on the 
turn and 
river. Van Brugge doubled up and is still in contention to earn a spot in the money.

Ockenden Keeps Trending Up, Takes From Yurasov
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Dmitry Yurasov opened to 7,000 in early position. Ole Schemion called from the cutoff, Peter Ockenden called on the button and Oliver Price defended his big blind. The flop was 
and Yurasov continued with 15,000. Schemion folded, Ockenden called, and Price folded.
On the turn, Yurasov showed no sign of slowing down with a bet of 42,000. Within mere seconds, Ockenden committed the calling chips. The on the river paired the board, and now Yurasov bet 66,000. Ockenden took a quick glance at the bet and rapidly called again.
Dmitry Yurasov:
Peter Ockenden: 
Yurasov's top pair was no match for Ockenden's top two pair, and the online phenom had to ship a sizable portion of his stack over to the British expat living in Holland.

Colautti Escapes Elimination; Cachia Busts
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Drama for the Maltese poker mama Jacqueline Cachia, as she narrowly missed out on the money.
Dan Shak raised to 8,500 and Gianfranco Visalli called. Daniele Colautti then moved all in from the cutoff and Cachia also called in for around 35,000 on the button. Shak went over the top and Visalli folded.
Jacqueline Cachia:
Daniele Colautti: 
Dan Shak:
The 
flop improved Shak and he was about to eliminate two players just before the money. The turn was a blank, but the 
river provided the two-outer for Colautti, who doubled through Shak for 61,100 and sent Cachia to the rail.
