Après le succès de Thomas Boivin sur le premier SIngle Day HR à 25000€ du festival, l tournoi a débuté à midi 30, samedi. Il a fallu 11 heures à Ropert pour s'imposer face à des joueurs comme Boivin ou Steve O’Dwyer.
Jean-Noel Thorel est le premier à avoir re-entry sur ce field de 34 entrants (5 re-entries, ndlr). Les Six joueurs dans l'argent ont collecté un minimum de 57 140€ et Ropert à fait le ménage.
Alors qu'ils ont dominé le tournoi en milieu de game, Dietrich Fast et Charlie Carrel se sont inclinés aux portes de l'argent. Timothy Adams et Michael Soyza ont aussi participé au prizepool.
Carrel a sorti Soyza en 10e position pour provoquer l'ultime réunification. Bien placé, Ropert n'a (presque) pas tremblé.
Après l'élimination de Juan Pardo, Pavel Plesuv et Dietrich Fast ont doublé à plusieurs reprises... et le Français a plongé au classement avant de redresser la situation en quelques coups bien sentis. Chipleader à la pause dîner, Ropert s'est chargé d'éliminer Sergi Reixach à la bulle du tournoi.
Plesuv et Norbert Szecsi ont rapidement rendu les armes une fois l'argent atteint et Fast a pris le contrôle... avant de tenter Ropert. Le Français a call hauteur et c'est l'Australien Addamo qui a terminé l'Allemand au pied du podium.
Malgré une moyenne à 40 blindes, l'action a été féroce. Addamo a shove en petite blinde et Corentin a trouvé en grosse blinde pour s'offrir un head's up. Plesuv et Addamo ont eux réussi à atteindre les places payées sur les deux HR Single Day du festival.
Avec 100 blindes contre 40 à son adversaire japonais, Corentin Ropert a d'abord perdu du terrain. Toma a ensuite check-raise à tapis en étant drawing dead, sous les vivas des Français présents dans le rail !
