La bulle explosera au Jour 3, 12 Français encore en piste sur le Main Event PokerStars Championship Prague
Niveau 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Sept joueurs ont profité de la possibilité de s'inscrire jusqu'au coup d'envoi du Jour 2 du Main Event PokerStars Championship Prague 2017 à 5300€ l'entrée pour porter l'affluence finale du tournoi à 855 joueurs, un score très honorable pour une première.
Avec 69 représentants au départ du tournoi, la France a présenté le plus gros contingent de joueurs devant le Royaume-Uni (65), la Russie (58), l'Allemagne (57) et l'Italie (52). Les tricolores représentaient 8% du field au départ du tournoi, ils ne sont plus que 12 avant le Jour 3 qui se déroulera vendredi à partir de midi sur des niveaux de 90 minutes avec des blindes 2000 - 4000 (500).
415 joueurs étaient présents au Hilton Casino, jeudi, et ils ne sont plus que 140 en lice pour le Jour 3 après 6 niveaux de 75 minutes. Avec 127 places payées, certains rescapés vont passer une mauvaise nuit. Ils ne rêveront probablement pas du premier prix de 775 000€ mais plutôt de simplement capter une part du prizepool de plus de 4,1 millions d'euros.
Vainqueur WSOP, et avec plus de 150 blindes devant lui, le chipleader allemand Paul Michaelis sera en bonne position pour abuser de la bulle qui approchera vite lors du Jour 3. Il devance un Iranien et un Suédois alors que les 9 premiers du général débuteront eux aussi cette période cruciale du tournoi avec plus de 100 blindes. Dans ce Top 10, on retrouve la Team Pro PokerStars Fatima Moreira de Melo mais aussi le Français Kalidou Sow.
