Welcome Back to the EPT Malta Main Event Day 1b

Welcome back for Day 1b of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Main Event. If the breakfast buffet at the neighbouring Hilton Hotel is anything to go by, today promises to be very, very busy. The field is hoped to be at least double that of the 260 who entered yesterday.

After eight 75-minute levels, 142 made Day 2 from yesterday’s Day 1a field with Evangelos Tsairis the overnight chip leader after he amassed 180,300. Other notables who finished with top-ten counts included Ingnat Liviu (161,900), Alec Torelli (133,100), Thomas Muehloecker (121,200) and John O’Shea (114,200).

The Global Poker Masters came to a thrilling conclusion last night after underdogs Team Italy stormed through to win the maiden World Cup. Their members, plus most of the other competitors – if they didn’t late-reg yesterday – should be in today’s field.

Confirmed players we can expect to see today include Team PokerStars Pros Jake Cody and Leo Margets; Steve O’Dwyer, Emil Patel, Kitty Kuo, Griffin Benger, Max Silver and Niall Farrell.

Cards will be in the air at Noon CET so join the PokerNews reporting team back here then.
