Sur un field costaud, c'est le vainqueur EPT (à Tallinn, lors de la Saison 8, ndlr) Ronny Kaiser qui a pris les devants. Le chipleader du tournoi a fait l'écart en tête avec 2,6 millions de jetons puisque son plus proche poursuivant Luis Rodriguez Cruz n'a "que" 1,89 million de jetons. Parker Talbot (1,3 million) et le récent finaliste du Main Event WSOP Benjamin Pollak (1,35 million) sont les mieux placés derrière.

Le coverage en direct

Emil Patel (1,2 million), Jake Cody (1 million), JC Alvarado (840,000), Christoph Vogelsang (739,000), Sam Grafton (658,000) et Christopher Kruk (510,000) sont toujours là tout comme Alexandre Reard (340.000) et Fabrice Maltez (184.000).

La partie reprendra sur 10000-20000 (3000) et Benjamin Pollak peut gérer au contraire de ses deux compatriotes qui auront fort à faire. Reard est en effet en table avec Nicolas Chouity, Oliver Weiss ou encore Emil Patel et Jake Cody. Pour Maltez, ce sont Shawn Buchanan, Sam Grafton et [Removed:412] qui sont au programme. Un défi à relever pour rêver au million !

Bertrand Grospellier, Felipe Ramos, Jeff Gross, Robert Mizrachi, Kitty Kuo, Isaac Haxton, Byron Kaverman et Anton Wigg n'ont pas franchi le Jour 2.

La bulle a duré plus d'une heure et c'est Raul Martinez qui a chuté à la pire place avec contre chez Markus Durnegger.

Niveau 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Noticing PokerStars Team Pro Jake Cody is down to just one time extension — and perhaps trying to lighten things up on the bubble — Jasper Meijer van Putten has begun bantering with Cody to try to negotiate a selling price for one of his own extensions since he has three.

"Five hundred?" the Dutchman asked. "Five hundred is a fair price. I think it's a bargain. When you make the final table..."
