Antonius One of the Bigger Stacks Coming into Day 2 of the Triton Super High Roller Montenegro Main Event
The penultimate day of the HK$1,000,000 Triton Super High Roller Series 2018 Montenegro Main Event is set to start at 1pm CET. So far 27 of the 39 Day 1 entrants are still in action at the dawn of Day 2, but with registration open until the end of level 11, at 5pm local time this figure could well increase.
The list of returning players reads like the who's who of the international High Roller poker scene. Big stacks and notables returning in the top 10 include Patrik Antonius (576,000), Mikita Badziakouski (569,000), Stephen Chidwick, ( 526,500), Julian Thomas (505,000), Dietrich Fast (451,500), Rui Cao (420,000) and Steffen Sontheimer (387,000).
However, the man returning with the chip lead is Malaysia's Wai Leong Chan who enjoyed a great day at the tables on the opening flight, winning the majority of his chips from Koray Aldermir to return with a stack of 778,500.
Aldemir is still in the running however, after re-entering and will be coming back with a stack of 336,000. Defending champion Manig Loeser will be returning with a stack of 264,000. Bryn Kenney is coming back with 247,000, while Phil Ivey made it through to Day 2 with 186,500.
Among those to bust and not re-enter just yet are 6-Max champion Richard Yong, Romain Arnaud, Gabe Patgorski, Mikhail Smirnov and Dan "Jungleman" Cates.
Both Yong and Cates are expected to re-enter the competition on Day 2. Since Day 1 was shortened by two levels, the registration period upon restart remains open for the first four levels and break.
The penultimate tournament day is scheduled to play down to the final table and the action recommences at level eight with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and a running ante of 500, giving all new additions to the field 50 big blinds when the cards get back in the air.
As usual, the PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to bring you all the action as it happens so watch this space as we see who’s got what it takes to successfully traverse the road to the final table.
