Im Sochi Casino & Resort läuft derzeit das PokerStars Festival Sochi auf Hochtouren und gestern wurden die zwei letzten Starttage beim RUB 66.000 (ca. $1.100) Buy-in Main Event angeboten. Im garantierten Preispool lagen $500.000 und gleich vorweg, dieser Preispool wurde deutlich übertroffen. Nach einem bereits starken Tag 1a konnten die Verantwortlichen 276 Entries verbuchen, gestern wurden zwei weitere Starttage angeboten. In Tag 1b kauften sich in Summe 285 Spieler ein und der Lokalmatador Andrey Kotelnikov beendete den Tag mit 288.900 als Chipleader, gefolgt von seinem Landsmann Denis Malov mit 246.300 Chips. Ebenfalls gestern wurde mit Tag 1c ein Turbo Flight veranstaltet, hierbei kauften sich weitere 138 Spieler ein und der Russe Georgiy Skhulukhiya beendete den Tag als Chipleader mit 217.000, vor Armen Grigoryan mit 185.400 Chips.
Wie zu erwarten zeigt das Teilnehmerfeld hauptsächlich Spieler aus Russland, die bekanntesten Teilnehmer aus internationaler Sicht waren Igor Kurganov und Liv Boeree. Das Poker Paar kaufte sich knapp vor Ende der Late Reg in Tag 1b ein, jedoch gelang es beiden nicht sich für Tag 2 zu qualifizieren.
Im Preispool liegen stolze RUB 40.681.800 und der Sieger darf sich über RUB 7.700.000 freuen.
