Leo Margets last night bagged up 124,300 to take the Day 1A lead in Event #15: €2,200 No-Limit Hold ’em as the only player to break into six figures. Melanie Weisner is the closest to her with 94,800 while players such as JC Alvarado (77,000), Ilan Boujenah (77,400) and Dmirty Vitkind (76,000) all chase in hot pursuit.
Day 1A picked up 185 entries, 82 of whom made it through to Day 2. If you’re interested in joining them you can take a shot by getting your seat this afternoon. The tournament begins at 7pm and it’s looking like it’s going to be busy. Get your seat now and avoid being an alternate. Day 2 starts tomorrow, 9 October at 3pm (and don’t forget about the €10,300 High Roller, which starts at 5pm tomorrow).
Chip leader Margets has cashed four times in EPT main events and beat Team PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren in a side event in Monaco, but is probably best known for her 27th place finish at the WSOP main event for $352,832 three years ago. PokerStars Blog took a closer look at Margets a little while back, take a gander if you would so like.
