Raffaele Sorrentino aims for another PSC title in 2017
[Removed:146] est l'unique Français en lice alors que le Main Event PokerStars Championship Barcelona 2017 arrive dans sa dernière ligne droite. Ils sont encore 16 à rêver du million d'euros promis au vainqueur.
70 des 16682 inscrits de ce tournoi de poker à 5300€ étaient encore en lice à l'orée du Jour 4, 3 des quatre tricolores présents ont chuté lors de cette journée de vendredi : Gregory Janin d'entrée de jeu (70e - 18 190€), le Team Pro Unibet Quentin Lecomte (29e - 31 900€) et le runner-up du Sismix Alexis Fleur (26e - 37 300€).
Le Team Pro PokerStarsAndre Akkari n'a lui pas perdu un pot de la journée pour se hisser en tête à deux tables du bonheur. Derrière lui on retrouve Brian Kaufman Esposito avec 5,4 millions de jetons et le Britannique Usman Siddique à 4,6 millions. Notre dernier tricolore est juste derrière avec 4 millions de jetons. Déjà finaliste EPT, [Removed:146] s'annonce comme un candidat sérieux à la finale. Cela au même titre qu'Albert Daher (3,8 millions), ou Alex Difelice (2,7 millions). Chipleader à l'issue du Jour 2, Mauricio Salazar Sanchez (655 000) n'aura que 13 blindes samedi midi pour la reprise avec 11 minutes à jouer sur les blindes 25000-50000 (5000).
Raffaele Sorrentino est lui encore en piste pour un doublé PokerStars Championship inédit. Déjà vainqueur à Monte-Carlo dans cette première saison, l'Italien est toujours en lice avec un stack intéressant de 3 millions de jetons dans une partie à suivre en direct sur PokerNews.
