EPT Sanremo Day 2; Trickett Leads the Way
We all know Sam Trickett's prowess in high stakes cash games and Super High-Rollers, but if he puts his mind to it, he's not bad at these multi-day large field tournaments either. He ran well and played well (dangerous combination) to lead all day one players returning to play day 2 today with 178,000.
He has a lot of talent chasing his coat tail with Justin Bonomo, Alexander Roumeliotis, Chris Brammer, Artem Litvinov, Sam Grafton and Kyle Julius all within touching distance.
Team PokerStars is still being very well represented by Andre Akkari, Nacho Barbero, Johnny Lodden, Jude Ainsworth, Ana Marquez, Luca Pagano, Fatima Moreira de Melo, Pier Paolo Fabretti, Pius Heinz, Victor Ramdin, Theo Jorgensen, Liv Boeree, Mickey Petersen, Eugene Katchalov, Chris Moneymaker and Jason Mercier all still in the hunt.
After the eight-level slog of both day ones the plan is to take it a little easier and play six 75-minute levels. Everyone will be happier about that, as they will be to find out that each table will be less crowded as play is moving to nine-handed.
