Mit dem RUB 66.000 National Event wird die PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) in Sochi eröffnet. 705 Entries wurden dabei verzeichnet, 214 Spieler gehen heute angeführt von Harry Lodge in Tag 2.
Durch Sochi als Standort ist die Rückkehr der EPT ein wenig unter dem Radar. Neben zahlreichen Russen sind aber auch einige internationale Spieler am Start, auch ein paar deutschsprachige fanden bereits den Weg ins glamouröse Casino.
Drei Starttage beim National Event gab es, wobei sich Anatoliy Korochenskiy Tag 1A und Aleksandr Denisov Tag 1B sichern konnten. Die Gesamtführung ging dann aber an Harry Lodge, der am Ende von Tag 1C 328.000 Chips eintüten konnte und so knapp an den beiden Tagessiegern vorbeizog.
Fedor Kruse und Philipp Salewski sind die beiden Deutschen im Feld, liegen aber auf den Rängen 96 bzw. 180. Die Preisgeldaufteilung gibt es zum Start von Tag 2, sicher ist aber, dass der Sieger auch ein $30.000 Package für die Players Championship auf der PCA erhalten wird.
Bei den Blinds 1500/3000, Ante 500 geht es um 14 Uhr Ortszeit zurück an die Tische, unter anderem sind auch Vladimir Toyanovskiy, Aleksandr Lakhov und Denis Timofeev mit dabei.
