EPT Berlin Day 2 Comes Screeching to a Halt
And with that ridiculously exciting triple bubble-all in, Day 2 at the PokerStars.net EPT Berlin ends abruptly with all 119 remaining players in the money. While we feel for the close-but-no-�7,500 Mr. Lobzhanidze, eyes are already on the Day 3 chip leaders.
First among these is Frenchman Fabrice Soulier, who won the biggest pot of the day and having reached 800,000 chips just kept on going until the final whistle. He ends the day with 1,079,400 - a tidy chip lead - while German qualifier Alessandro Laubinger lies in second with 742,400.
Team PokerStars lost over half of the remaining Pros in the field, including Arnaud Mattern, Jan Heitmann and Sandra Naujoks, but there are still two German Team members flying the Day 3 flag: Sebastian Ruthenberg (278,800) and George 'the Panzer' Danzer (310,500). Also still in the running, and now guaranteed at least �7,500 are EPT Snowfest winner Vladimir Geshkenbein, Team Pro Portugal Henrique Pinho, Nima Ahrary, Martin Jacobson and Peter Eastgate.
The march towards the final table and first prize of �825,000 will begin tomorrow at 12pm local time.
