Matt Hansen

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Day 1b of the EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event has come to an end and a total of 1,049 runners have turned out to the Monte Carlo Sporting Complex over two opening flights for the flagship event of the 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®.

Tuesday's second flight drew 418 runners, which combined with the 631 on Day 1b to bring the total near that of the record EPT Monte Carlo Main Event turnout of 1,098 set in 2016. A total of 307 will return for Day 2 with registration still open until cards go in the air, and the action will be streamed live on . The field has generated a prize pool of €5,087,650 after the two opening flights.

Morten Hvam of Denmark is the chip leader after 10 levels of play and he will return for Day 2 with 327,500. Among the other big stacks is PokerStars ambassador Rafael Moraes, as well as Boris Kuzmanovic, Didrik Mantor, Gangzhou Hu, Rocco Palumbo, Claudio Di Giacomo, and Daniel Rezaei.

Also returning for Day 2 is PokerStars ambassador Andre Akkari, Patrik Antonius, and bracelet winners Davidi Kitai, Alexandros Kolonias, and Jason Wheeler.

Day 1b Highlights

2019 WSOP Main Event champion Hossein Ensan was knocked out in the early stages of Day 1b after he fell behind and found the opportunity to get his short stack in with king-queen, but he ran into the pocket queens of Akan Kaya and couldn’t improve to stay in the tournament.

Elsewhere, Gianluca Speranza’s day came to an early end when he fell behind in the opening levels and got his short stack in with ace-jack, only to run into the pocket kings of Sebastian Gahl. Belarmino De Souza also met the same fate in the middle levels of the day when Eugenio Peralta doubled through him with pocket eights and Boris Kolev took the rest of his remaining stack a few moments later with ace-jack.

March’s EPT Prague Main Event champion Grzegorz Glowny made his bid for a second straight title on the circuit, but the Poland-native couldn’t gain any momentum and his day came to an end in Level 8 when his king-queen couldn’t improve against the ace-king of Michael Chetrit.

Tamon Nakamura bounced back after hitting the rail on Day 1a to make a run deep into Day 1b. He picked up chips near the end of the evening when he sniffed out Ermanno Di Nicola’s bluff and called with ace-king high. Nakamura bagged 136,000 and he will return on Day 2 for a chance to spin it up.

Ferenc Deak sits among the big stacks at the end of the day, but he fell behind early and was nearly out before he got a shove through to start moving in the right direction. Despite surrendering a double a short time later to Ricardo Graells, Deak continued the momentum throughout the day and he bagged 203,500 to advance to Day 2.

Day 2 on Wednesday

The surviving players from the two opening flights will return on Wednesday at Noon local time to play Day 2. Action will pick up in Level 11 with blinds at 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 ante and the plan is to play six levels before the remaining players bag up and return on Thursday for Day 3.

Day 2 will also kick off the streaming coverage of the Main Event, with James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton covering the action on with special guests throughout the rest of the tournament. The livestream will start shortly after cards go in the air and play will be broadcast on a 30-minute security delay.

Be sure to keep it with the PokerNews team throughout the rest of the week for the latest live updates from the floor of the EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event.
