Nick Galtos Poker

On Day 1b of PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® €5,300 Main Event, Italian player Gianluca Speranza finished with a narrow lead atop a tightly bunched group of players as 222 of 481 runners made it through the day. Speranza's stack of 201,500 means Day 1a leader Jeff Hakim still paces the field by a wide margin.

It was thought best to heat the poker red-hot before plunging it into the mugs of flip. — A bribe or douceur. (common).—A light blow, or snatch. 23586 players in the EPT All Time Money List.

Meanwhile, one of poker biggest superstars of a few years also put in a good performance. Patrik Antonius, who still is one of the most recognizable faces in poker, turned back the clock a bit as he ran up the chip lead by dinner break before ultimately finishing with 102,200.

Antonius sat in during Level 4 and doubled his starting stack almost immediately.

Antonius, best known for his high-stakes cash exploits, also has over $6.7 million in tournament winnings but has only booked a single cash in the past three years as he moves farther and farther from the global tournament scene.

Antonius sat in during Level 4 and doubled his starting stack almost immediately with a discerning call when he and an opponent each missed flush draws. Antonius did make a pair of fives, however, and called off on the river when his opponent put him all in.

Right before dinner, Antonius made a big move up the chip counts when four players saw an ace-king-three flop for a three-bet. Antonius held ace-three for two pair, and the player who three-bet was unable to get away from ace-queen, helping the Fin go to dinner with over 300 big blinds after he faded his opponent's outs on the turn and river.

Other notables bagging over six figures included EPT Barcelona champ Sebastian Malec (140,200), PokerStars Team Pro Liv Boeree (127,400), recent PokerStars National Championship winner Andreas Klatt, Davidi Kitai and Tom Hall.

Jan Bendik who won the last EPT event here last year, also made it through, as did PokerStars Team Pros Daniel Negreanu, Igor Kurganov and Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier.

Ryan Riess' recent heater, including a WPT title in Florida, did not continue as he fizzled out after losing most of his stack to Jason Wheeler. Players joining him on the rail included Anthony Zinno, Paul Newey, Ami Barer, Ivan Luca and PokerStars Team Pro Felipe Ramos.

Day 1b's field pushed the two-flight total for the event to 716 runners, and there's still time for more to join them. Registration remains open until the noon restart, and PokerNews will pick up the coverage again then, so be sure to return for Day 2.
