Der zweite Tag beim RUB 191.800 Main Event der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Sochi ist gespielt und nur noch 100 Spieler der 758 Entries sind übrig. Nach wie vor ist Aleksandr Denisov in Führung.
Die Late Reg war noch zum Start von Tag 2 offen und die Option wurde auch noch zahlreich genutzt. So kam man insgesamt auf 758 Entries (563 uniques), drei weniger als letztes Jahr. Die Preisgeldgarantie wurde verpasst und nach Abzug der Fee wurden RUB 145.500.000 (€ 2.000.000) auf die Top 111 Plätze verteilt.
305 Spieler gingen in Tag 2, darunter Eugen Fritzler, Oleg Drews und Tobias Matuschek. Keiner der vier sollte es in die Geldränge schaffen, aber da war man in guter Gesellschaft. Auch der Sieger der EPT National, Yury Masliankou, ging früh, ebenso Gleb Tremzin, Leonid Biloukur und einige mehr. PSPC Champion Ramon Colillas flippte schlecht mit Pocket 8s gegen 
und ging ebenfalls leer aus.
Die Bubble kam dann schneller als erwartet und im letzten geplanten Level des Tages. Der einzige Österreicher im Feld, Klaus Haunschmidt, sollte dann den unrühmlichen Titel Bubble Boy erobern. Er setzte preflop short auf Pocket 9s und bekam zwei Calls. Das Board 
wurde gecheckt, Sergey Frizyak hielt 
für zwei Paar, aber der Pot ging an Aram Vartevanyan mit 
für den Flush.
Bis zum Ende des Levels mussten noch 11 Spieler gehen und einer davon war Mikhail Shalamov. Mit 
traf er auf 
von Aleksandar Denisov. Das Board änderte nichts und während sich Shalamov mit dem Min-Cash begnügen musste, konnte Denisov wieder die Führung erobern.
100 Spieler gehen bei den Blinds 2500/5000 in Level 16, die Action gibt es wieder im Livestream zu sehen. Die Coverage zum Mitlesen findet Ihr unter pokernews.com.
