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.

True Pros
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Team America members from the Global Poker Masters, Isaac Haxton and Dan smith, were in their seats from the very first hand. Another day, another dollar for the two players who experienced the disappointment of bubbling yesterday's World Cup Semi-Final.
Smith raised to 300 from under the gun and was called in two spots. The board ran out 
with all three checking to the river where Smith finally bet 800. Both opponents folded and Smith slammed open 
.
One of his opponents laughed and said he did it just for our benefit. Smith agreed and said we should write he bet all three streets.

"Why Is My Stack at the Table?"
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
EPT Deauville runner up (€338,700) Dany Parlafes sat down and saw he was already down some chips. His stack had been out on the table since the start, so he had missed some blinds and antes. "Why is my stack at the table?" Parlafes asked the dealer. The dealer confirmed that every seat four was out since the start of the day.
Parlafes sat down across from Mike McDonald. The EPT Dortmund champion and PCA runner up was seen raking in a big pot for this stage of the tournament. We're unsure of the action, but after a check check on the river on a board of 
, McDonald's 
was good.
