Stefan Drusca Books the Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event Day 1b Chip Lead
Nível 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With a little less than eight minutes remaining in Level 17, play finally concluded in Day 1b of the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event, which is part of the PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour.
After the first flight of the day received a total of 812 entrants, the second flight, which was played with shorter 30-minute levels, drew a total of 358 entries. In both instances, the field was played down to the final 15 percent of the field, which equated to 54 players from the second field, which will join the 121 from Day 1a.
Following a day full of fast and exciting action, players came back from their break to Level 17, when they had only four players left until the bubble burst with an average stack of around 30 big blinds. With the imminent money bubble approaching, play grinded to a snail's pace, especially after play went hand-for-hand. On the fourth all-in hand, Pieter Theelen that eliminated Andrei Konopelko.
When players bagged and a chip leader could finally be determined, it was Stefan Drusca who was on top of the mountain, putting 513,000 chips into his bag for Day 2.
Not far behind and dominating the later parts of the day was Jean Lhuillier (465,000) and Jack Hardcastle (441,000), who will look to turn their stacks into riches in the coming days. Maher Nouira and Victor Caballero Pinna round out the top-five.
