Day 1b of the EPT Warsaw proved not to be noble in the minds of 229 players as they suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and crashed out of the tournament. Only 130 players of 359 entrants are left to contest Day 2, due to begin at 1pm GMT at the Hyatt Regency Casino.An impressive turnout has generated a prize pool of 7,180,000 Polish Zloty. For those readers who are currently suffering a brain fart or who are not whizz-kids at exchange rates, Eyebrows is happy to state that the cash translates to approximately €2m, with a first prize of €600,000.
One player clearly not currently enduring any mental fog is Sweden’s Robert Flink as he is topping the leader board with 113,300 chips. Presumably Frenchman Jan Stefan Smolarczyk is experiencing minor intestinal discomfort as, with only 2600 chips, he is lingering at the bottom.
The tournament will conclude on Saturday with 32 players financially rewarded for their endeavours: some will successfully take arms against a sea of troubles, whilst others will head to that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns. Eyebrows will provide the latest news, even if our writers have to swap the motherboard for the Ouija board.
