Kakhmazov chipleader, ElkY et Moneymaker franchissent le Jour 2
Demi-finaliste du PSC Monte-Carlo il y a trois semaines, Bertrand Grospellier a réalisé quelques deep-runs sur les SCOOP sans parvenir à conclure. En confiance, ElkY poursuit son opération comeback à Sochi où il s'est qualifié pour le Jour 3 du Main Event à 5300$ l'entrée.
Le Français est 7e du classement général provisoire avec 265 000 jetons alors que la journée s'est terminée à l'issue du niveau 1,200-2,400 (ante 400). De quoi être ambitieux au Jour 3 où Ils ne seront plus que 82 sur la ligne de départ.

Les Team Pro PokerStars ont fait le boulot lors du Jour 2. Ils étaient deux au départ de la journée et ElkY n'a pas été abandonné par l'Américain Chris Moneymaker. Le vainqueur du Main Event WSOP a emballé 118 000 jetons, de quoi ambitionner un premier cash en Europe pour la première fois depuis octobre 2015.
Quelques joueurs biens connus de nos services sont encore en piste pour troubler la Russian Party puisque l'Allemand Jonas Lauck (219 000), l'Argentin Nacho Barbero (216 000) et l'Américain Jason Wheeler (210 000) sont toujours en course pour les 55 places payées et un au moins un min-cash à environ 11 600€.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy (161,500), Dmitry Chop (161,000), Konstantin Tolokno (136,000), Max Lykov (96,500) ou le vainqueur du WPT Amsterdam Daniel Daniyar Aubakirov (240,000) compte bien donner une sonorité plus orientale au nom du vainqueur du PSC Sochi.
Reprise à 11 heure, heure française, sur les blindes 1500-3000 (300) pour un niveau de 75 minutes. Ensuite, la compétition se déroulera sur des levels de 90 minutes...
