Mit 63 Spielern ging es gestern in den vorletzten Tag des £5.300 Main Event der partypoker Millions UK in Nottingham, bei dem es um die Qualifikation für den Finaltisch ging.
Noch im Rennen waren zu Beginn die beiden Deutschen Dietrich Fast und Patrice Brandt sowie der Österreicher Sasa Lalos, außerdem durfte auch Titelverteidigerin Maria Lampropoulos auf eine Wiederholung ihres Vorjahressieges hoffen.
Während für die Argentinierin aber auf Platz 53 Schluss war, mischten unsere deutschsprachigen Vertreter lange Zeit gut mit, doch für unseren Platz am Finaltisch sollte es am Ende nicht reichen.
Als Erster musste Lalos auf Platz 36 weichen, dann verließ Brandt auf Platz 25 den Turniersaal und schließlich rannte Fast mit Zehnen in Antoine Labats Asse und musste sich mit £30.000 für Platz 17 begnügen.
Das heutige Finale ist gleichwohl extrem hochrangig besetzt, mit Ryan Riess, Tom Hall, Antoine Labat, Michael Wang und Alex Foxen kämpfen gleich fünf Bracelet-Gewinner, November Niner oder Highroller um den Titel.
Chipleader ist allerdings der eher unbekannte Grieche Ioannis Angelou-Konstas, der deutlich vor Foxen das Feld in die Entscheidung führt.
