Stire: Stiri

3 zile de joc au fost suficiente pentru ca field-ul de 582 de jucatori platitori ai unu buy-in piperat de $10300 sa se reduca la doar 43 de jucatori, din pacate printre cei ramasi neregasindu-se niciun jucator din Romania. Si asta pentru ca ultimul reprezentant al tarii noastre ramas in concurs, Horea Serban nu a reusit nici macar intrarea in premii, terminand rapid ziua de ieri in primul nivel de joc. Sita a cernut si dupa 4 niveluri de 90 de minute, field-ul de 101 jucatori s-a redus la 43, avandu-l in postura de ChipLeader pe suedezul Karl Stark – 1,148,000. Exceptandu-l pe Stark, un singur alt jucator a reusit sa treaca de bariera celor 1.000.000 fise, americanul specialist in highrollere David Peters totalizand 1,117,000 chipsuri, treapta a treia a podiumului fiind ocupata de rusul Oleg Titov – 938,000. Au mai reusit accederea in ziua a 4-a de concurs argentinianca Maria Lampropulos, castigatoare Main Event-ului 2017 partypokerLIVE Millions Dusk Till Dawn pentru £1,000,000, ea construindu-si un stack de 758,000 fise, neamtul Koray Aldemir – 757,000, spaniolul Adrian Mateos – 620,000, britanica Liv Boeree – Team Pokerstars Pro – 389,000 sau americanca Maria Konnikova, castigatoarea turneului National Championship aici in Bahamas, care joaca poker doar de un an de zile sub indrumarea lui Erik Seidel; Konnikova are insa o misiune foarte dificila, cele 10 blinduri ale sale nu mai pot fi aruncate in joc decat prin miscarea clasica de shove, ea sperand astfel la un double-up cat mai rapid.
Printre cei care au reusit sa intre deja in premii se numara americanul Barry Greenstein – loc 47 si $22,020, argentinianul Ivan Luca loc 51 si $22,020, un alt american Harrison Gimbel – loc 56 si $19,760, rusul Vladimir Troyanovskiy – loc 63 si $19,760 sau Kevin MacPhee (SUA) – loc 67 si $19,760. Jucatorii revin astazi la mese si vor juca in continuare nivelul 17 – 3000/6000 si 1000 ante, ziua urmand sa se termine pana cand field-ul va fi redus la 16 jucatori.

101 jucatori din cei 582 de platitori ai buy-in-ului de $10300 au reusit sa avanseze in ziua a 3-a a Main Event-ului PCA Bahamas, printre acestia regasindu-se si un jucator din Romania, Horea Serban, care are o misiune dificila: el trebuie sa se descurce cu un stack de 44500 fise (15 blinduri), iar presiunea pentru jucatorii shortstacks asa cum este romanul devine tot mai mare, intrucat ne mai despart doar 14 eliminari de intrarea in bani si de asigurarea min-cashului de $17500. A fost o zi in care multe nume mari prezente in Bahamas au parasit competitia, iar aici ii putem aminti pe Maurice Hawkins, Connor Drinan, Christopher Kruk, Nick Petrangelo, Mike Wang, Matt Glantz, Steve O’Dwyer, Mike Leah, Mutapha Kanit, Jason Koon sau Bryn Kenney, cel din urma parasind turneul chiar inainte de ultima pauza. Cu toate acestea, concursul nu si-a diminuat din interes, intrucat alte nume importante vor fi prezente la joc in ziua a 3-a: Adrian Mateos (358,000), David Peters (327,000), Maria Lampropulos (299,500), Koray Aldemir (256,000), Chris „Big Huni” Hunichen (166,000), Liv Boeree (96,000), Harrison Gimbel(99,000), Joao Simao (90,500), Ivan Luca (77,000), Barry Greenstein (69,000) sau Kevin MacPhee (38,500) se vor bate pentru marele premiu ce depaseste 1 milion de dolari.
Turneul s-a oprit la nivelul blindurilor 1500 / 3000 si 500 ante si va continua la primele ore ale diminetii din Paradise Island, iar pe aceasta cale ii uram mult succes ultimului roman din turneu, un double-up rapid si un traseu cat mai lung.
