Es geht voran bei den Briten: Die Starttage der EPT London sind absolviert und von den insgesamt 691 Teilnehmern sind nach Tag 1B noch 417 übrig. Gestern kamen nochmal 411 Spieler an die Tische , 255 überlebten den Tag.
Der Deutsche Benny Spindler konnte den Tag am erfolgreichsten abschließen, er tütete am Ende 160.800 Chips ein. Damit liegt er in der Gesamtwertung aber immer noch hinter dem Chipleader von Tag 1A, Lukasz Golczyk aus Polen mit 211.600 Chips.
Spindler konnte in einem Pot fast 100.000 Chips gewinnen: Sein Gegner Nicolas Levi machte vor dem Flop mit 7 4♦ eine Five-bet und war all-in. Spindler callte genüsslich mit Pocket-Aces und gewann am Ende den fetten Pot.
Ebenfalls noch unter den Lebenden sind Konstantin Bücherl mit 81.400 Chips, Marvin Rettenmaier mit 40.000 Chips, George Danzer mit 35.900 Chips, Boris Becker mit 34.000 Chips und Dominik Nitsche mit 24.600 Chips. Aus internationaler Sicht sind Sorel Mizzi auf Rang 4 mit 129.100 und Justin Bonomo auf Rang 5 mit 126.100 Chips interessant und vor allem brandgefährlich.
Nicht durch Tag 1B kamen unter anderem Daniel Negreanu, Luca Pagano, Johannes Strassmann, Juan Maceiras, Vanessa Selbst, Viktor Blom und Liv Boeree. Für sie ist das Main Event beendet aber das Wetter ist in London traumhaft und so kann man bei einem Spaziergang an der Themse in aller Ruhe über die eigenen Fehler im Spiel nachdenken.
Heute geht der Kampf um den 3,3-Millionen-Preispool bei 104 bezahlten Plätzen weiter und man wird sehen, wer Tag 2 übersteht. Hier die Chipcounts der Spieler von Tag 1B gefolgt von den Pay-outs:
