EPT Monte Carlo : Pas de Français en finale, Ryan Riess et Manig Loeser encore en course
Niveau 27
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
L'avant dernière journée du Main Event PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour 2019 à 5300€ l'entrée a permis au 6 survivants d'un field de 922 entrants de s'assurer d'un gain de 152 800€. Samedi, ces rescapés joueront pour 827,700€ et un premier titre EPT.
L'Italien Nicola Grieco peut succéder à Antonio Buonnamo, dernier transalpin vainqueur sur ce circuit (en 2014). Il reprendra avec 7,1 millions de jetons après avoir montré sa qualité sur un 3-barrel bluff contre Manig Loeser et éliminé Conor Beresford pour s'approprier le chiplead.
Loeser et Ryan Riess sont les deux stars d'un tournoi disputé dans la Salle des Etoiles . L'Allemand a sorti le vainqueur EPT Nicolas Chouity et débutera en 4e position avec 4 millions de jetons. Le vainqueur du Main Event WSOP 2013 a monté 3,6 millions pour se glisser en finale, cinquième du classement provisoire il aura tout de même une soixantaine de blindes pour tenter de remporter lui aussi son premier EPT et compléter la Triple couronne.
Le Hongrois installé à Malte Viktor Katzenberger (6 millions) aura sa chance alors que l'amateur Wei Huang (5,6 millions) n'a plus rien à perdre. Dans le bas du classement à l'entame du Jour 4, Huang s'est même emparé brièvement du chiplead. Il a notamment éliminé une des 3 femmes qui se présentait à 30 left, l'Iranienne Melika Razavi, victime du supporter du Shanghai Shenhua F.C.
Dernier de la classe pour la finale, Luis Medina s'est faufilé avec 1 million de jetons, le Portugais aura tout de même 18 blindes pour lancer sa quête vers le trophée.

24 joueurs sont tombés au champs d'honneur vendredi. Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford (11e - €50,930), Sam Greenwood (12e - €45,570), Christoph Vogelsang (18e - €32,150), James Romero (21e - €27,680) et Mikalai Vaskaboinikau (22e - €27,680) ont raté l'ultime table du côté des joueurs internationaux. Les anciens champions EPT Nicolas Chouity (16e - €36,620) et Paul Michaelis (25e - €23,210) ont vu leur rêve de rejoindre Victoria Coren, la seule double vainqueur EPT, se briser lors du Jour 4. Ancien vainqueur EPT à Deauville, Remi Castaignon (26e - €23,210) n'a pas eu plus de succès non plus.

Deux Français étaient sur le ligne de départ vendredi et aucun ne sera présent en finale. Le Team Pro Winamax Aladin Reskallah s'est incliné en demi-finales après une partie solide qui s'est soldée sur une rencontre couleur contre couleur. Le double vainqueur de Top Shark s'est montré à son avantage avec plusieurs passages en Table TV.
En grande forme, le Canadien Timothy Adams est lui parvenu à atteindre l'ultime table. Solide, il a terminé son run par une 8e place (€78,030), éliminé par Katzenberger. C'est donc finalement Rustam Hajiyev (7e - €109,510) qui fait la bulle du Final Day tout en étant le premier à repartir avec un gain à 6 chiffres. De quoi adoucir ses regrets d'avoir chuté face à Loeser...
Le chrono a alors été stoppé avec 37 minutes à jouer sur le niveau 30,000/60,000 (60,000 big blind ante). La finale sera à suivre en direct sur PokerNews et en streaming avec un décalage de 30 minutes.

river, Loeser checked and Grieco emptied the clip with a bet of 1,200,000.

Shortly after, Grieco was back to his chatty self and couldn't help but needling Loeser with a "that's poker, my friend."

Niveau 27
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Dead last of 30 players coming into Day 4 of the EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event to chip leading within three levels — it’s been a very lucky day for amateur poker player Wei Huang.
The 34-year-old amateur poker player from Shanghai, China is enjoying his very first trip to Europe, and picked a great time to run good.
While he stays busy with his job as a finance controller for PepsiCo, Huang loves poker and plays for fun when he can. Sitting with the big-time pros late in the Main Event in Monaco, Huang is a little starstruck, but not letting it interfere with his game. In the late levels of the day, he's been seated with the likes of Ryan Riess, Sam Greenwood and Manig Loeser at the featured live-streamed table.
“It’s amazing because when I look at them, they’re like my idols. I’m a big fan of most of these players.”
