Nicht nur die Super High Roller griffen gestern beim PokerStars and Monte-Carlo©Casino EPT Festival zu den Karten, auch die Spieler beim €1.100 EPT National kamen zurück an die Tische. Von ehemals 1.501 bezahlten Entries kommen heute am Samstag nur noch 24 Teilnehmer zurück und spielen neben dem Titel und einen Scheck von stolzen €250.000 um einen Platinum Pass im Wert von $30.000 für das PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship im Januar 2019.
Die besten Chancen hat derzeit der 31-jährige Tscheche Michal Mrakes, der nach eigenen Angaben gestern den Lauf seines Lebens hatte. Mit über 6 Millionen an Chips geht er mit einem deutlichen Abstand in den finalen Tag. Aus unserer Community sind noch Abraham Passet aus Deutschland mit 1.290.000 Chips und der Schweizer Pascal Tribolet mit 935.000 im Rennen um den Titel, ein Preisgeld von €6.900 hat jeder Spieler bereits sicher.
