Michal Mrakes en tête du PokerStars Championship Prague

Trois tricolores étaient encore en lice pour le Jour 4 du Main Event PokerStars Championship Prague 2017 à 5300€, samedi. Vainqueur EPT, Jean Montury n'a pas franchi l'obstacle et s'incline finalement en 36e position pour un gain de 16 300€.

31 joueurs ont dit adieu à leur rêve de trophée et aux 775 000€ promis au vainqueur. Fin de parcours pour les Team Pro PokerStars Fatima Moreira De Melo (18e) et Marcin Horecki (44e), pour les Italiens Alessio Isaia (19e) et Gianluca Speranza (26e) ou encore le vainqueur EPT Dominik Panka (30e). Habitué des tournois les plus onéreux, le Belarus Mikita Badziakouski (31e) n'est plus dans le coup non plus.

Si les Britanniques Dermot Blain (41e), Louis Salter (41e) et Jack Sinclair (42e) ont rendu les armes, la France compte encore sur Pierre Calamusa et Kalidou Sow, biens calés dans le peloton. Le Team Pro Winamax débutera le Jour 5 avec 1,2 million et 40 blindes, Kalidou avec 1 million et plus de 30 blindes puisqu'il reste presque une heure à jouer sur 15,000-30,000 (5,000). COmme tous les survivants de ce field de 855 entrants, nos deux tricolore sont assurés de repartir à la maison avec un minimum de 38 400€.

Michal à fond la caisse

Avec 4,9 millions de chips, c'est le Tchèque Michal Mrakes qui abordera la dernière ligne droite avec le maillot jaune. Le Tchèque avait dominé les deux journées d'ouverture avant de laisser la tête à l'Allemand Paul Michaelis (28e - 18 900€). Il a fait le trou et devance Valentyn Shabelnyk (3,2 millions) et le pro US Jason Wheeler (2,4 millions). Habitué du circuit lui aussi, le Lituani Matas Cimbolas et ses 54 blindes n'ont pas dit leur dernier mot. En queue de peloton, on retrouve l'Américain Alex Foxen (470 000) qui tentera lui de doubler.

Rendez-vous dimanche sur PokerNews et en streaming pour la course à la finale.
