Nein, es ist kein ausschließlich russisch besetzter Final Table beim ₽77.000 EPT Sochi National der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Sochi 2021. Chipleader ist aber der Russe Anton Smirnov.
Mit 83 der 559 Entries war es gestern im Casino Sochi in Tag 2 beim EPT National Event gegangen. Alle hatten den Min-Cash von ₽119.000 (rund € 1.340) sicher, Maxim Lykov war der erste Seat open. Das Tagesziel war das Erreichen des Final Tables, der ₽626.500 (rund € 7.000) sicherte. Überwiegend waren russische Spieler im Feld, umso überraschender sollte es sein, dass unter den letzten neun Spieler ein Franzose – Francois Najjar – und ein Serbe – Vladimir Bozinovic – sein sollten. Die Führung ist allerdings fest in russischer Hand. Anotn Smirnov hat mit 4.000.000 Chips einen klaren Vorsprung auf die anderen. Auf den Sieger warten ₽7.360.500, umgerechnet rund € 83.130.
Sollte ein Russe den Titel holen, so wäre er erste der zweite bei vier Events. Der erste EPT National Titel 2018 ging an den Tschechen Matous Houzvicek, der Weißrusse Yury Masliankou war 2019 erfolgreich. Letztes Jahr war das Feld dann (coronabedingt) fast ausschließlich russisch besetzt und Anatolii Zyrin holte den Sieg.
Das ₽175.000 Main Event der EPT Sochi beginnt morgen. Infos findet Ihr auf pokerstarslive.com.
