Talai Shakerchi, from England, is leading the tournament with 1,165,000 chips. Shakerchi eliminated, for example, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom in one of the last hands of Day 1.

Almost all of the big names I know from poker are in these tables, this looks more like a social event with poker players than a real tourney. I believe most of them entered this EPT after invitation. Although paying the buy-in as others, being the first time it happens there, it has that charismatic side. It is better if the first ever tourney like this stays in history has being played by a lot of stars than if it wasn’t. Now lets see if it is one of those stars that will win it.

The strongest poker players are still in the tournament trying to make the final table, who will it be? My guess is that a newcomer will win this tournament.
