Der Tag 3 beim Rekord-Main Event der PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo machte aus 126 Spielern nur noch 38. Unter den Opfern des dritten Spieltages im €5.300 Hauptturnier der European Poker Tour in Monaco waren viele prominente Teilnehmer – unter anderem auch aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Ebenso musste der ehemalige Schachweltmeister Magnus Carlsen aus Norwegen als 63. seinen Sitz aufgeben. Die verbleibenden 38 Titelanwärter werden heute um 12:00 Uhr zurück in den legendären Sternensaal (Salle des Étoiles) kommen, um das Top-Payout von €890.000 wieder aufzunehmen.
Unter den Augen der Pokercommunity im Livestream auf Twitch mussten am 3. von 6 Spieltagen gleich 88 Spieler ihre Stacks aufgeben. Unter den gebusteten Spielern waren Namen wie Dario Sammartino (117.), Davidi Kitai (86.), Arnaud Mattern (80.) oder Erik Seidel (49.). Auch Super High Roller Örpen Kisacikoglu musste kurz vor Ende des Spieltages als 40. seinen Sitz verlassen. – Und auch den prominentesten Spieler erwischte es mit dem 10-jährigen Schach-Weltmeister Magnus Carlsen. Für ihn war die Partie im Main Event auf Platz 63 beendet.
Auch die D-A-CH-Community musste zu großen Teilen ihre Hoffnungen auf den EPT Monte Carlo Main Event Titel begraben. Zu den ausgeschiedenen deutschsprachigen Spielern gehörten unter anderem Sirzat Hissou (123.), der zuvor im €50k High Roller noch 4. werden konnte oder der EPT Monte Carlo Main Event Champion von 2019, Manig Löser. In den letzten Zügen des Spieltages mussten leider noch Thomas Graupner und Lars Kamphues ihre Chips abtreten. Für die beiden Deutschen, die auf den Plätzen 44 und 43 landeten, standen am Ende jeweils €17.000 zu Buche.

Umso erfreulicher ist es, dass mit Leonard Maue und Patrick Beuter (der unter der britischen Flagge startet) aus Deutschland und Stefan Huber aus der Schweiz noch drei D-A-CH-Spieler im Rennen sind. Unter den 1.098 Rekord-Entries wollen sie im €5.325.300 Preispool noch tiefer in die Presigeldränge vorstoßen. Ab dem Finaltisch warten €82.350 und der Sieger erhält €890.000 und die charakteristische EPT-Trophäe. Und das sind ihre derzeitigen Chipcounts:
| Leonard Maue | Germany | 1.085.000 |
| Stefan Huber | Switzerland | 730.000 |
| Patrick Beuter | United Kingdom | 605.000 |
Tag 4 wird heute um 12:00 Uhr gestartet und mit den nötigen 30 Minuten Delay auf Twitch übertragen. Der Chipaverage unter den letzten 38 beträgt 841.000 Jetons. Die besten 14, unter denen auch Leonard Maue verweilt liegen überdurchschnittlich gut im Rennen.
