The second flight of the week, Day 1B of the EPM Euro Poker Million Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of one million Swiss francs, concluded just before 3 a.m. This flight saw 166 participants and brought 22 more qualifiers to Day 2, in addition to those advancing from Day 1A played yesterday, for a total of 46 qualifiers.
The star of the day was Ali Elmalin from Switzerland, the only player so far to bag over one million chips, ending with a precise total of 1,053,000. Here’s what he shared with us right after the session:
“Did I play well? I wouldn’t know, but I was definitely lucky. I play regularly, although I’m not a professional, and this is the first time I’ve finished as the chip leader in a Day 1 of a tournament. This is truly a great event, so let’s hope it’s a good omen. See you on Day 2.”
