Das RUB 18.200 Weekend Deepstack zum Start der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Open Sochi ist entschieden. Nach einem Deal zu dritt konnte Alexey Krasnov über den Sieg und RUB 1.580.600 (rund € 22.200) jubeln.
364 Spieler hatten für 651 Entries beim Auftaktevent im Casino Sochi gesorgt. Die drei Flights waren jeweils bis zum Erreichen der Geldränge gespielt worden und so hatten die 96 verbliebenen Spieler bereits den Min-Cash von RUB 30.800 sicher, als es ins Finale ging.
Das Feld war fast ausschließlich russisch und es wäre tatsächlich eher eine Überraschung gewesen, wenn der Sieg nicht in Russland geblieben wäre. Am ausschließlich mit Russen besetzten Final Table kam es zu dritt zu einem Deal, der Alexey Krasnov den Turniersieg und RUB 1.580.000 (rund € 22.200) bescherte.
Am 9. Oktober beginnt das RUB 133.000 (rund € 1.900) EPT Sochi Open Main Event, zu dem ein doch ein etwas internationaleres Feld erwartet wird.
