The prize pool for this season’s EPT Sanremo Main Event prize pool has now been announced and it’s a €476,100 prize for the winner – along with a trophy and stunning watch worth more than €5,000 from luxury Swiss brand SLYDE, the Official Watch Sponsor for EPT Season 10 Main Events. There were 556 players creating a €2,480,872 prize pool with 79 players paid.
A total of 51 countries are represented in the Main Event with Italy accounting for more than a quarter of all the players - 153, some 28% of the field. Russians are next with 47 players (8%) and UK close behind with 42 players (also 8%). Perhaps this is Italy's chance of a second EPT champion - the only Italian to win an EPT to date was Salvatore Bonavena who took down EPT Prague in Season 5.
Leading the 316 players for Day 2 was David Yan from New Zealnd with 179,100 chips. The Day 1a chip leader was Cristiano Guerra who had 148,700.
