PokerStars EPT Polish Open from Hyatt Regency in Warsaw, Poland - Day 1A Summary
Tuesday saw 190 players make their way to the Hyatt Regency in the Polish capitol of Warsaw. Each would pony up the 20,000 Polish Zloty (approximately €5,750) buy-in for the latest EPT stop. By the end of Day 1A play, just 73 would be bagging chips with hopes of capturing the 2008 Polish Open title. Team PokerStars Pros Dario Minieri and Katja Thater were among the many casualties in the first of two Day 1 flights. Polish pop star Michal Wisniewski was also in the field, but was forced to dance his way out after just one day. Peter Jepsen was crowned the inaugural EPT Polish Open champ last year, but won't be able to repeat after falling during Day 1A. Robert Fink was able to pick up A-K and fend off Casey Kastle's J-J after the board fell A-A-4-Q-6. The pot of 50,000 was enough to vault Fink to the top spot, where he would remain for the rest of the day. Here's the top 25 stacks: Robert Flink - 113300 Anio Alcaraz - 78000 Alp Okumus - 62100 Joseph Serock - 55000 Andreas Torbergsen - 53000 Daniel Hofmeister - 51900 Jean Claude Perrot - 50100 Tyler Netter - 42600 David Burn - 41700 Kenneth Hicks Jr. - 41200 William Johnson - 40900 Christoffer Sonesson - 39800 Victor Escudero - 39100 James Honeybone - 38700 Fredrik Haugen - 36800 Anton Smolyanskiy - 35800 Andrea Benelli - 35700 Jari-Pekka Juhola - 34400 Trond Erik Eidsvig - 34400 Dennis Bejedal - 33900 Roberto Nateri - 32500 Magnus Petersson - 30100 Woody Deck - 29700 Cristiano Blanco - 28800 Robert Lipkin - 28800 Payouts and total prize pool info will be available Wednesday after registration closes. Play will resume at 2 p.m. local Warsaw time (8 a.m. EST). Among those scheduled to hit the felt tomorrow; 2004 WSOP Main Event winner Greg Raymer, two-time bracelet winner Mel Judah and new Betfair pro Sorel Mizzi. |
