Day 1a Concludes

Lee Nelson - Big Stack
Lee Nelson - Big Stack
And with the final five hands coming to an end in quiet fashion (funny how you almost never get huge action at this point, so close to the start of Day 2), these 223 players remaining in the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final are officially on a day's break.

Among them are leaders Lee Nelson, Luca Pagano, Annette Obrestad and Faraz Jaka. There are a good few over 100,000 now who will start the second day's play near pole position, along with whoever rises to the top in tomorrow's flight.

As cheers come from the monitor-filled corner where Elky has just completed breaking the STT record, the tournament area is being bagged and tagged. The beautiful sunshine absorbed by players on the stunning seaview balcony of the Sporting Club at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel in fifteen minute chunks during the breaks will be back tomorrow, and so will we, with live coverage starting at 12pm local time.
