Players are now bagging up. Stay tuned for a full recap of the day's play.
En tête à l'entame du Jour 2, le Russe Aleksandr Denisov a gardé le commandement après une journée qui a vu les 111 derniers survivants d'un field de 758 entrants empocher un mini-cash de 5010€. Les trois derniers rescapés tricolores ont survécu à la bulle et aux minutes folles qui ont suivi pour se glisser dans les 100 joueurs qualifiés pour le Jour 3 de l'EPT Sochi 2019.
Alors que Denisov repartira mercredi à midi sur les blindes 2500/5000 (5000) avec un million de jetons, notre trio français aura entre 10 et 12 blindes. Qualifiés sur des Spin & Go à 15€, Romain Berger et Cyril Morisset signent leur premier résultat sur le circuit alors que Bertrand Ciaglo inscrit une 4e ligne à son palmarès, lui qui avait pour plus gros gain une 6e place sur un Turbo du WPO Dublin 2018 (470€).
Il faudra terminer au moins 95e de ce Main Event European Poker Tour à 2600€ pour gagner plus (5520€) mais la culbute de 334 fois sa mise de départ est déjà belle après une qualification online.
Les 3 Français
moyenne 227 500
Bertrand Ciaglo 72 000
Romain Berger 70 000
Cyril Morisset 60 000
Derrière le patron Aleksandr Denisov, qui avait dominé les trois journées de départ et a donc gardé son trône avec 1,017,000 de jetons, les joueurs de l'Est trustent les places de choix. Mikhail Aleksandrov (942,000), Vadim Baranov (865,000), le finaliste EPT Dmitry Yurasov (658,000)et Aleksandr Sheshukov (657,000) complètent le Top 5. Le vainqueur de l'EPT National Sochi 2018 Matous Houzvicek (276,000) et le tenant du titre Arseniy Karmatskiy (78,000) sont encore dans la course mais dans des situations bien différentes...
Le Team Pro PokerStars Online Mikhail Shalamov a fait l'argent sans atteindre le Jour 3, un résultat toujours meilleur que celui du vainqueur du PSPC Ramon Colillaséliminé sur un flip à 30 places de la bulle, ou encore de Leonid Bilokur, Konstantin Puchkov, Maksim Panyak, Yury Masliankou, Jia Tang ou encore Tomas Macnamara, tous repartis les mains vides.
