Im Prager Hilton Hotel fand gestern der Auftakt des letzten Main Events der European Poker Tour statt. 246 Spieler waren bereit das Buy-In von €5.300 auf den Tisch zu legen, darunter jeden Menge bekannte Gesichter.
Einen Start nach Maß legte der Österreicher Thomas Mühlöcker hin, der seinen Starting Stack bis auf 151.500 Chips ausbauen konnte, was am Ende des Tages Platz drei bedeutete. Besser waren nur der Chinese Dang Wang und der dänische Pro Henrik Hecklen, der es als Einziger schaffte, mehr als 200.000 Chips einzutüten.
Ebenfalls gut in das Main Event gestartet sind Johnny Lodden und Pascal Lefrancois. Aus deutschsprachigen Gefilden konnten neben Thomas Mühlöcker auch Akin Tuna und Friedrich Meyer eine gute Ausgangsposition für Tag 2 erspielen.
