Bukara Leads at the End of Day 1b
Then sun has set on a rainy Day 1b in Tallinn, and when the clouds parted, Perica Bukara was the player with the stack to beat. He came to Estonia straight from Prague, where he took sixth in the Unibet Open a few days ago. His hot streak continued early today, and he used his chips skillfully to amass 210,600 by the end of the night. Santiago Terrazas took the opposite approach, winning a massive pot with aces in the last 20 minutes to move into the second spot.
Pros Manuel Bevand, Vadim Markushevski, Marc Naalden, and Katja Thater will also be back for Day 2. Thater is the only female to return tomorrow to join around 200 men. Among those not as lucky were ElkY Grospellier, Dario Minieri, Shaun Deeb, Sorel Mizzi, and the only other female to play today, Fatima Moreira de Melo.
Day 1b saw 239 entrants whittled to slightly over 100. They will join the 89 players who survived Day 1a on Friday at noon local time to work their ways ever closer to the money, and eventually, a shot at the €400,000 first prize. Join us back here at PokerNews for all of the Estonian excitement.
