Entries 49 / Left 11
Some say it's all a matter of karma. What is certain is that the light-heartedness with which Niki Prela, Day1 D chip leader of the ReMida Poker Team, faces tournaments is a rare commodity at the gaming tables.
Before talking about the day's protagonist though, let's take a quick look at the numbers: thanks to the 49 entries in the day's second flight, the €150,000 guaranteed prize pool has already been surpassed with Day1 E Speed still to be played (today starting at noon).
In total, out of 517 entries, there are 133 (including the 11 qualifiers from Day 1 D) who have secured a Seat for Day 2 this afternoon.
Going back to the good Niki Prela (pictured above), the anecdote to take into account is that the Croatian player already had his Day 2 pass in his pocket as he managed to qualify with 234,000 chips in the first available flight.
Partly out of boredom, partly because of the prizes reserved for the chip leaders, the fact remains that Niki got back on track to try and do better than he had done on Day1 A. Mission accomplished:
"You know what happened? Everyone was playing against me because they knew I had nothing to lose, but I waited, I waited.... And in the end who is the best player in the world?" - he jokes as usual at the end of Day.
"I was only interested in becoming chip leader and not even too much for the money at stake, I wanted to finish first! Then came this €3,000 and so thanks to EuroRounders! I follow you at all events and will continue to do so. I am a EuroRounders, thanks to you!"
The Top 5
Despite the small number of participants, there was certainly no shortage of excitement in this Day 1 D. First of all, we omitted to mention that the aforementioned Niki had just under 20 big blinds at the end of the 10th level out of the 11 planned for Day 1.
An experienced ride that took him to 476,000, in the provisional Top 10 overall. An excellent result also for Alessandro Scermino (second at 418,000 and €2,000 chip leader prize for him).
Third place for the third of the Masciale brothers, Carmine (interviewed by Federico Tosi just a week before the tournament), at €343,000 plus a €1,000 chip leader prize. With the other two qualified for Day 2 through Day 1 C, Team "Queen of Hearts" will have a leg up on Day 2.
Completing the Top 5 are Massimo Schiralli and Enrico Scalabrino, with 301,000 and 259,000 chips respectively. Cataldo Valletta (6th with 256,000), Edis Bečić (196,000), and Luca Quilichini (98,000) are also passing. Below is the full count with a seat redraw for this afternoon.
