Day 2 of the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event Kicks-Off at Noon

Tournament Room
Tournament Room

Another day has come at the 2019 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event and Day 2 of the EPT Main Event will start today at noon local time in the beautiful Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. Over 900 players are already registered in the tournament with registration still open until the start of Day 2. The prize pool will be announced shortly after the registration closes at the start of Day 2.

This EPT Monte Carlo Main Event is the third biggest already in the history of the event. Last year's Main Event attracted 777 entries and the 903 entries from this year already improve the number quite a lot. Registration will be still open and players get to sit down with 30,000 chips in level 11: 800/1,600 with a big blind ante of 1,600.

Sylvain Mazza leads the field after he bagged the chip lead on Day 1b yesterday. He managed to bag 288,700 and that was just a bit more than Day 1a chip leader Ludovic Geilich (271,400). Other notable players who bagged big on Day 1 of the Main Event include Sam Grafton (259,800), James Romero (235,000), Govert Metaal (138,700), and Manig Loeser (128,600).

The 2018 EPT Prague Main Event Champion Paul Michaelis is also still in the mix. He bagged 159,000 and he will return to Day 2 of the Main Event with just a little under 100 big blinds at the start of the day. Michaelis took the Prague Main Event down in 2018 after beating a 1,184 entry field for €840,000.

The remaining players will play five 90-minute levels with a 20-minute break after every level. There will be no scheduled dinner break but the players are expected to be done at about 9 p.m. later today.

Philipp Gruissem

Philipp Gruissem sat in the small blind when it folded to him and he raised to 5,500. Big blind Leonard Maue defended to see the flop.

The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Gruissem continued with a bet of 4,000. Maue called again and the turn was the {j-Clubs}. This time the bet placed by Gruissem was 14,000 and Maue got out of the way.

''The first I usually missplay. This hand I played perfectly! It's some sort of trauma.'' The German added while he raked in his first pot of the day.

Bicknell Barrels into Concepcion

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Kristen Bicknell opened the action from the button and both players in the blinds called.

The flop was the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and after two checks, Bicknell continued for 5,000. Only Jonathan Concepcion called from the big blind and they were heads up on the turn.

It was the {a-Diamonds} and after another check from Conception, Bicknell barreled for 13,000, which prompted a speedy fold from her opponent.

It is a tough table to be sure, with Randy Lew and Mike Watson also in contention on Table 31.

Celina Lin, Sio Hong Si and Fatima Moreira de Melo

For Sio Hong Si, his once-in-a-lifetime experience of playing in the EPT Main Event has come to an end early on Day 2. Si won a package for just $3 on PokerStars, and he traveled 35 hours from Macau to visit and play in Monaco for the first time in his life.

Si survived the first day with just four big blinds and started the second day next to Celina Lin. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to spin those chips up and with the camera's capturing everything, he made his way to the exit.
