EPT Tallinn: Liakos lead on Day 3
It remains only 63 players for the Day 3 of the European Poker Tour Tallinn (EPT), which takes place this Friday. The second day of competition of the tournament was fateful for many players because the field of 198 participants was quickly reduced to a little more than 60 players after only 6 levels of play. And in this wide elimination, the unfortunate departure of many elites of the game was noticed like that of David Vamplev, Rupert Elder, Kevin Stani, Annette Obrestad, JP Kelly, Richard Toth and Martin Jacobson. At the end of the day so, the Swedish Nikolas Liakos managed to accumulate the largest stack, which earned him the place of chipleader. Everyone admitted that Liakos led with perfection his game because he started the day with a 86,000 chips, he managed to gather 250,000 chips in hand after two levels of play only. Then he continued to play poker with enthusiasm and talent until the end of Day 2. Liakos is thus leading the top 10 with 460,000 chips in hand.
At the second position is Lari Shivo with 400,100 chips and Michael Gradon is in the third position with 349,800 chips in hand. The player that also keep the public's attention at the poker room of Swissotel is the beautiful Italian Irene Baroni because she managed to appear at the 8th position. She was able to qualify for the final day. Note that at the end of Day 3, the field will shrink to 24 players. And it's also important to note that other top players like Arnaud Mattern, Praz Bansi, chipleader of the Day 1B, Oscar Lima and Johan Van Til are still in the game for the following of the competition.
