EPT GERMAN OPEN ENTRY FIELD REACHES 411
1 February 2008
213 players signed up for Day 1B
Following the example of Day 1 A, the second Day 1 heat
of the PokerStars.net EPT German Open was again well
attended, with a liberal sprinkling of top international
talent among the 213 players.
The total entry field for the event, being held at the
Casino Hohensyburg in Dortmund, is now official at 411 -
down on last year's total entry of 493 players.
The Day 1 B starting field included EPT Prague champion
Arnaud Mattern, 2007 German Open champ Andreas Hoivold
of Norway, PokerStars Caribbean Adventure winner and
Internet expert Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, World
Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion Annette
Obrestad, Marcel Luske, Thor Hansen, Pascal Perrault,
Roland De Wolfe and Daniel Negreanu.
Early casualties included De Wolfe, and Mattern fell
later in the day to Betfair's poker ambassadress Annette
Obrestad. Other notable eliminations included Luca
Pagano and Ram Vaswani of the Hendon Mob.
German Open champ Andreas Hoivold survived for the
entire day, only to fall on the last hand after a tussle
with Nicolas Levy, which means that there will be a new
German Open champ at the end of this tournament.
Going through to join the Day 2 player list were Annette
Obrestad, Daniel Negreanu and Marcel Luske all with
significant chip stacks, and Thor Hansen, Brandon
Schaefer, Rolf Slotbloom and Noah Boeken were still in
contention.
