Der erste Starttag des €770 Main Events der Mega Poker Series (MPS) Madrid wurde wie berichtet gecancellt, da aufgrund des Champions League Spiels von Real Madrid gegen dne FC Bayer München zu wenige Spieler erschienen waren. Daher gab es mit Tag 1B gestern den einzigen Starttag. An diesem gingen 277 Spieler an den Start und zusätzlich wurden 24 Re-entries getätigt.
Chipleader der verbliebenen Spieler ist der Grieche Aristotelis Tavris, der sich einen Stack von 464.700 erspielen konnte. Für andere hingegen lief es nicht so gut. Mit Bodo Sbrzesny hat sich der wohl bekannteste Spieler im Rennen bereits an Tag 1 verabschieden müssen.
Noch dabei sind hingegen Spieler wie MPS Regular Samuel Bernabeu, Sasa Lalos, Clemens Schwarz, Sebastian Hitz, Andreas Heissenberger, Dieter Aebi, Andreas Gabriel, Florian Schleps und Andreas Knöbel.
