Schon am ersten Starttag des € 1.100 Main Events der PokerStars Eureka Poker Tour Prag gab es den erwarteten Rekordansturm. Gleich 475 Spieler nahmen an den Tischen Platz und schlugen damit den Rekord von Wien mit 457 Spielern. 142 konnten den Tag letztlich heil überstehen, wobei sich Tomas Fara die Führung sicherte.
Von den 475 Startern kamen gleich 66 aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Unter anderem traten Julian Thomas, Jens Tehrani, Johannes Holstege, Hannes Speiser, Horst Riedlinger, Leo Spielmann, Markus Ganglbauer, Roland Weidinger, Werner Lorenzoni, Michael Rutzmoser, Christian Nolte, Ismail Kalkan sowie eine Horde Schweizer mit Besim Hot, Eugen Kress, Anton Heinrich, Felix Gasser, Gerald Eisele und vielen mehr an. Im Internationalen Feld waren unter anderem Martin Hruby, Rupert Elder, David Vamplew, Roberto Romanello, Fabrice Soulier und einige mehr vertreten.
Zehn Levels wurden gespielt und in dieser Zeit wurde kräftig ausgesiebt. Nur 142 Spieler konnten den Tag erfolgreich beenden. Tomas Fara sicherte sich mit seinen 243.500 Chips die klare Führung. Bester deutschsprachiger Spieler ist Philipp Schimmerl auf Rang 15.
Heute Montag, den 8. Dezember, folgt Tag 1B und es wird wieder einmal richtig, richtig voll werden. Die Erwartungen sind groß, aber nachdem schon Tag 1A so stark besetzt war, darf man auch tatsächlich mit einem neuen Teilnehmerrekord rechnen. Schon jetzt sind fast 800 Spieler registriert und viele werden noch im Laufe des Tages hinzukommen. Updates vom Event findet Ihr unter Pokerstarsblog.com.
