EPT Grand Final - Day 1 - Dinner break

Day 1A of the EPT Grand Finalkicked off today at noon. At the tables of the Casino Gran Madrid we have some of the best players in the World, including María Maceiras and her brother Juan, Javier Martínez Gil,Fabrice Soulier, Leo Margets, Joe Cada (WSOP 2009 winner), John Durhamell (WSOP 2010 winner) and Liv Boeree, as well as Tom Dwan.

Fabrice got to the dinner break with 55K, María finished the last level with 43K and Javi was very short, down to 16K.

May, at the same table as Joe Cada, just before he busted on a board T high with AA, after going all-in, when another player called with T and flush-draw, completing his draw on the river.

Elflacokanu had a roller-coaster day, going up to 50K at the beginning of level 3, going down to 38K after folding a 6-bet all-in, and continued shrinking his stack down to 16 BB in level 8. After the dinner break he doubled up with AA vs JQ. And after a 3 handed pot he doubled up again with KQ vs JQ, so he is now proud to hold a 53K stack.

María started the first levels of the day going down to 10K. In the last level before the dinner break she doubled up with QQ vs A4 on a board A48Q and went up to 21.500. Slowly she managed to get to 34K and just before the dinner break María already had 43K.

In the evening the Highroller Event came to an end. The winner was French player Elky , who took home 500,000 EUR. Congratz!
