A three-way all-in during the last hand of the night saw Anatoly Korochenskiy leapfrog into the lead in the two-day €2k event with 80 players remaining out of the initial 315. Korochenskiy held K♥ K♣ against A♠ K♦ and J♥ 9♥ only for the board to come 3♦ 3♠ 8♠ 10♠ K♠ – the Russian making a full house but was so disbelieving of it all that he had to check with the dealer first to ensure he’d won the pot. He finished with 134,000 ahead of Marcelo Bonata (114,200), Charlie Carrel (98,500) and Simeon Naydenov (93,700). Team PokerStars Pro will be represented on Day 2 by Vanessa Selbst (71,200), Eugene Katchalov (68,100) and Team PokerStars Pro Online’s Marc-Andre Ladouceur (14,400).
