No Break

donpeters

Same as yesterday, the players will be playing right through to Level 18 without a break due to the short Level 17 that carried over from yesterday.

Team PokerStars PRO Luca Pagano may have a little extra incentive today to do well. He currently sits second on the EPT's tournament leaderboard behind Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. Pagano has 3,067 points and ElkY has 3,354 points. Calculating things out using the leaderboard formula, Pagano will need a sixth-place finish or better to move past ElkY.

Can he do it? The early double up will surely help. Stick around and find out if he can!
