WPT National Series Marbella: A great success with 377 registered players
It's the southern of Spain, on the Coste del Sol that the World Poker Tour National Series visited. Since Friday, April 20, 2012, the poker room of Casino of Marbella hosted many poker professionals to compete for the title of this Spanish stage of the WPT. In total, the 1,650 main event drew 377 participants generating a prize pool of 547,000, a sum that will tie between the 36 best players of the game. As a reminder, the re-entry system was also proposed in this competition. Following the first two qualifying days, 184 players were allowed to return for the Day 2. And when this second day of competition came to close, there were only 48 survivors for the Day 3.
The British player Pete Linton was awarded the position of chip leader after having accumulated 658,000 chips. Kelle Daniel holds a stack of 423,500 and Jose Carlos Lopez Manas with 295,000 chips in hands follow him close behind. Note that French players were also present in large numbers at this event. Unfortunately, it remains only two qualified players until here, who are David Hoarau and Anthony Lemonnier, to defend France on gaming tables at the third day. The bubble will certainly burst on Day 3 which begins on Monday from 2:00 pm. It's an interesting event because the champion will walk away with a handsome sum of 150,000 while the runner-up will pocket the second prize of 82,000.
