GERMAN OPEN DAY 2
1 February 2008
Euro 933 600 the prize for the ultimate winner
149 survivors of the Day 1 A and B entry field that
totalled 411 players gathered for Day 2 at the
Hohensyburg Casino in Dortmund to take their chances of
rising to the next level....and the opportunity to
compete for the ultimate prize purse of Euro 933 600.
Chipleader at the "shuffle and deal" start was Cyrille
Chabot on 111 100, some 40 000 ahead of nearest rival
Claudio Rinaldi in a survivor field that included high
profile poker stars like Daniel Negreanu, Annette
Obrestad and Marcel Luske.
Betfair ambassadress Obrestad was in aggressive mood,
knocking out several players including Nicolas Levi
before being eliminated herself late in the game.
Describing her exit, Obrestad said: "It is difficult to
slow down, but maybe I was a little bit too aggressive
this time. I had been folding for three orbits and got
an opportunity when an opponent raised from mid-position
and the button just called. I had what I thought was a
decent chance that my opponents would lay down their
hands, but I was wrong about the player on the button
who called with a hand that held up."
Obrestad was not the only high profiler to head for the
rail; Noah Boeken, Thor Hansen, Daniel Negreanu and
Katja Thater were all bundled out as play continued
throughout the day.
32 players now go through to Day 3, with Spanish ace
Marco Diego Perez holding the chip lead at 361 600, 25
000 ahead of Canada's Michael McDonald. Other familiar
names among the survivors are Claudio Rinaldi, Brandon
Schaefer and Marcel Luske.
