Busy Day in EPT Sochi Main Event
For anyone that failed to make it through to Day 2 of the PokerStars EPT Sochi Main Event at the first time of asking yesterday, they have to further bites at the cherry today with Day 1b and 1c.
Day 1b kicks off at 12pm with ten 60-minute levels scheduled, with Day 1c a turbo affair at 7pm where the levels are reduced to 30 minutes.
Yesterday saw Aleksandr Denisov take control, finishing with an impressive chipstack of almost 500,000. Other notables already through to Day 2 include PSPC Champion Ramon Colillas (134,000), Anatoliy Zyrin (92,500), Kiryl Radzivonau (53,000) and Tomas Macnamara (18,700).
Today players will each receive 30,000 chips and will attempt to topple Denisov at the head of proceedings.
There will be 20-minute breaks after every two levels, and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 6. Here's the full structure for the day:
| Level | Small Blind | Big Blind | Ante |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | 100 | |
| 2 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| 3 | 100 | 200 | 200 |
| 4 | 100 | 300 | 300 |
| 5 | 200 | 400 | 400 |
| 6 | 200 | 500 | 500 |
| 7 | 300 | 600 | 600 |
| 8 | 400 | 800 | 800 |
