Der Final Table bei der PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo steht. Soeben wurde der vorletzte Turniertag beendet und von den 24 gestarteten Spielern sind nur noch acht übrig. Jeder der verbliebenen Kämpfer hat jetzt schon 140.000 Euro sicher, auf den Sieger warten satte 1,7 Millionen Euro.
Überragender Chipleader ist Nicolas Chouity aus dem Libanon, der mit über 10 Millionen Chips ca. 40 Prozent aller Chips am Tisch auf sich vereint. Der Österreicher Josef “Pepi” Klinger ist noch dabei, er wird es aber mit “nur” 1,17 Millionen Chips auf dem vorletzten Rang des Chipcounts schwer haben.
Josef Klinger wäre kurz vor Ende des Tages schon fast aus dem Rennen gewesen, als er mit K J seine letzten 622.000 all-in stellte. Er war gegen K Q von Matt Perrins unterwegs und traf dann tatsächlich auf dem River den rettenden Jack. Somit geht er mit besagten 1,17 Millionen an den Final Table und wir alle drücken dem Österreicher ganz fest die Daumen.
Josef “Pepi” Klinger kommt vom Schachspiel und war in den 80er Jahren der beste Profi-Spieler Österreichs. Mitte der 90er Jahre beendete er seine Schachkarriere und widmete sich unter anderem dem Poker- und Backgammonspiel.
Heute geht es um 12.00 Uhr mit dem Final Table weiter und am Ende wird es einen strahlenden Sieger geben. Die Blinds beginnen bei 40.000/80.000 und 5.000 Ante.
