Es war ein sehr kurzer Tag 2 beim € 5.300 Main Event der PokerStars and Monte-Carlo©Casino EPT. Mit 120 verbliebenen Spielern wurde der Tag beendet, David Peters ist der Chipleader im Kampf um die 111 bezahlten Plätze.
Die Late Reg war noch zum Start von Tag 2 möglich. Unter anderem nutzten Ronny Kaiser oder auch Team PokerStars Pro Igor Kurganov die Gelegenheit. Insgesamt wurden es 574 Teilnehmer mit 201 Re-Entries und 2 No-Shows, was bei 777 Entries einen Preispool von € 3.768.450 ergab. Die Top 111 Plätze sind bezahlt, wobei auf den Min-Cash € 9.400 entfallen und der Sieger sich auf € 712.000 freuen kann.
Mit sehr viel Action ging es zur Sache und nicht nur Shortstack Andreas Freund hatte gleich Feierabend, auch für Big Stack Julian Stuer kam mit 
und Top Two das schnelle Ende gegen das Set Asse. Aber auch für Ronny Kaiser, Paul Höfer, Igor Kurganov, Felix Bleiker, Pascal Hartmann oder Jan-Eric Schwippert war es nur ein kurzes Vergnügen. Ebenso mussten Justin Bonomo, Bryn Kenney oder auch Jake Cody sehr früh an die Rail. Währenddessen konnte Andre Haneberg gut aufbauen, auch Florian Maurer mischte vorne mit.
Steil bergauf ging es für Philipp Gruissem, der als einer der Shortstacks in den Tag gestartet war. Fabio Sperling dagegen musste gehen, als er mit Kings gegen Asse lief. Andreas Eiler erwischte es mit Tens gegen die Jacks von Randy Lew. Christopher Frank hielt die Asse, musste sich aber 
auf dem Board 
geschlagen geben.
Das Tempo an Tag 2 war so hoch, dass schon kurz nach 18 Uhr nur noch 120 Spieler übrig waren und das Spiel gestoppt wurde. David Peters sicherte sich mit 603.500 Chips die klare Führung. Die deutschsprachigen Spieler sind noch immer gut vertreten, auch wenn Rainer Kempe mit 323.000 Chips als bester Deutscher erst auf Rang 17 kommt.
Nur noch neun Spieler sind es bis zum Geld, wenn es um 12 Uhr bei den Blinds 1.500/3.000 weitergeht. Die Action gibt es natürlich wieder auf pokerstarsblog.de zum Mitlesen oder ab 12:30 Uhr auch im Livestream zum Schauen.
