Sei italiani con sei discreti stack inffilati nelle buste alla fine di un day2 durissimo del PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo che ha visto scoppiare la bolla alla 143esima posizione con nessun italiano itm nelle prime posizioni premiate. Sono 134, infatti, i giocatori che approdano al day2 in programma alle 12 di oggi, martedì 2 maggio, per combattersi un prizepool da 3,5 milioni di dollari e una prima moneta da ben 500.800 euro. Al runner up 368.700 euro mentre chi parte oggi al tavolo ha già assicurato un premio da 7.580 euro.
D'eccellenza i premi assegnati dalla 135esima posizione alla 143esima con Vichy Coren, la donna da record con ben due titoli Ept in bacheca, Didier Ortiz, Byron Kaverman, un certo Jason Mercier e il primo dei premiati a schivare la bolla, l'inglese James Mithcell.
Dicevamo degli italiani. Sono 5 e belli agguerriti. Se Nick Petrangelo, il chip leader, ha oltre mezzo milione nella busta, il migliore dei nostri è sempre Gianluca Speranza che aveva comandato il day1b e che stavolta chiude con 296.000 chips. Riparte con 74 bb con RaffIbiza Sorrentino a 243.500 chips e Francesco Favia, ottimo grinder online, con una 50ina di blinds. Poi c'è Locatelli in situazione tranquillità e con una 20ina di bb Luigi Conti e Roccoge Palumbo, sempre in corsa.
Petrangelo ha 562.000 chips e vista la sua run ad inizio 2017 sembra davvero un candidato serissimo ad alzare il nuovo trofeo delle series Championship di PokerStars. In pochi mesi ha già vinto 2,5 milioni di dollari. E' davvero il miglior giocatore di Championship visto che, tra Bahamas e Macao (ma anche all'Aussie Millions) ha piazzato ottimi risultati sia nei main event che negli high roller.
Chi c'è, oltre ai nostri italiani, a potergli dare fastidio? Che ne dite di questa sfilaza di grossi nomi come Patrik Antonius (452,200), Faraz Jaka (416,500), Mark Teltscher (408,000), Stefan Schillhabel (402,000) Sebastian Malec (382,500), Andreas Klatt (375,000), Fabrice Soulier (364,500), Jeff Hakim (350,000), Dan Smith (333,000) e Manig Loeser (323,500)?
Il team PokerStars piazza Daniel Negreanu con 300.000 chips, Celina Lin con 200.500 gettoni, Elky Grospellier con 121.500 e Liv Boeree con 63.500.
Questi gli entries:
