There are 153 players left in the record ESPT, Parker Talbot is currently third!
Once again, the record-breaking and huge ESPT Main Event attracts the attention of poker viewers from all over the world this year, but at the same time it lets us know that the Main Event itself will surely attack the record. Yesterday, 1,109 advanced players returned to the DAY 2 tables, among whom the €7,102,080 prize pool began to be shared. At the beginning of the day, the payout structure was revealed, which started at €1,750 mincash, but which will culminate tomorrow with a €676,230 reward for the winner!
Israel's Igor Kaufman took the chip leader's chair at the end of day 2 with a stack of 4,365,000, but the most attention is drawn to third place. This is occupied by PS member Parker "tonkaaap" Talbot, who enters day 3 with a 100bb stack (3,995,000). Famous names such as Kimmo Kurko (2,165,000) and VladasTamasauskas (2,315,000) will also appear in the game.
All 153 day 3 participants will return to the tables at 12pm today when play will resume at 20k/40k blinds. The tournament average is 36bb, but each of today's participants will start it with a certainty of €6,880 cashout. The plan of the day will be to play the tournament to the final table, which you will be able to watch live tomorrow thanks to the Live Stream.
In addition to the ME ESPT we mentioned, the second of the €25k High Rollers took place yesterday, which this time produced 34 entries. From the €816,340 prize pool, the spade trophy and €281,640 went to David Yan, who introduced himself to the poker public at the beginning of this month by winning the huge $200k event for $3 million!
