Einen Spieleransturm gab es beim € 2.200 High Roller Event der FPS beim PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) 12 Grand Final in Monte Carlo. Gleich 575 Spieler nahmen teil und sorgten so für einen Preispool von € 1.115.500. Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree führt das Feld in Tag 2.
Letztes Jahr waren es 383 Entries gewesen, dieses Jahr gleich 575. Viele Bekannte und Prominente nahmen am FPS High Roller Event teil, auch die deutschsprachige Community war gut vertreten. Mit 25.000 Chips und 40 Minuten Levels ging es in den Tag, 15 Levels wurden gespielt. In dieser Zeit schrumpfte das Feld auf 95 Spieler und so startet Tag 2 kurz vor den Geldrängen.
Der Preispool von € 1.115.500 wird auf 79 Plätze verteilt, wobei der Min-Cash € 3.790 bringt und der Sieger sich über € 214.100 freuen darf. Unter den 95 verbliebenen Spielern sind noch zahlreiche Bekannte, allen voran Liv Boeree, die sich mit 480.000 Chips knapp den Tagessieg sichern konnte. Bester Deutscher ist aktuell Sven Magirius auf Rang 3, auch Do Chung Tran, Oliver Weis und Dominik Nitsche liegen in den Top 20 und haben sich eine sehr gute Ausgangsposition für Tag 2 geschaffen, Sebastian Gohr rangiert im Mittelfeld.
Tag 2 startet bei den Blinds 2500/5000, Ante 500, die Leveldauer beträgt nun 60 Minuten, wenn es um die Geldränge geht.
