EPT National : Deux Français en lice à 30 left, un Bulgare en tête

DegenOnTour

Niveau 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Le PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague 2018 bat son plein au casino Hilton depuis le week-end dernier. Premier temps fort du festival,l'EPT National à 1100€ a souri aux Français, 31 d'entres eux se sont glissés dans les 373 places payées avant de partir à l'assaut du Jour 2 de lundi.

Alors que le Jour 3 se profile mardi, ils sont encore deux à viser les 382,750€ réservés au vainqueur. Présent aux avant-postes toute la journée de lundi, Jean-Noël Thorel a terminé la journée dans le Top 3. Avec 5,9 millions de jetons, il est à la poursuite du Norvégien Preben Stokkan (7,7 millions) et du Bulgare Iliya Iliev (8,8 millions) qui était déjà en tête à l'issue des trois journées de départ qui ont généré un field de 2486 entrants et un prizepool de plus de 2,4 millions.

Moins connu, Ut Tam Vo (en photo) a réalisé quelques résultats dans le Sud de la France et tient sa première opportunité à l'international. Assuré d'un gain de 8,930€ comme les 30 survivants du tournoi, le tricolore va doubler ses résultats en carrière et peut rêver d'un gros coup avec 2,5 millions de jetons soit la moyenne et une 11e place au classement provisoire.

L'Américain Bryan Paris (2 millions), l'Italien Walter Treccarichi (1,5 millions) ou le Roumain Florian Duta (945 000) comptent bien jouer les trouble-fêtes à partir de midi pour cette avant dernière journée de compétition. La partie reprendra avec 53 minutes à jouer dans le niveau 30,000-60,000 (big blind ante 60,000) et PokerNews sera au plus près de l'action.

Finalement 32e (pour 7,560€), Laurence Fleury a elle raté le Jour 3 d'un rien alors qu'Arthur Conan, Ivan Deyra, Thierry Delpui et Alexandre Reard se sont glissés dans le Top 100 du tournoi. Kimmo Kurko, Atanas Kavrakov, Scott Margereson et le vainqueur de l'EPT Prague 2016 Jasper Meijer Van Putten ont aussi cru pouvoir s'offrir une grosse performance. Ils devront tous se concentrer sur les prochains tournois et notamment le High Roller EPT National à 2200€ qui débute mardi.

On to day 3 with 2.06m at 30k/60k. 31 remain, 382k first! Resumes tomorrow

Victor Choupeaux, Giuliano Bendinelli, Jonathan Roy, Ricardo Graells, Ari Engel, Parker Talbot ou encore Gaëlle Baumann devraient en être après avoir ajouté une ligne à leur palmarès aussi sur cet EPT National...

Out 45ème. In sur un beau 2K demain !
