Portuguese player João Costa built a huge chip lead during Day 1A of PokerStars Portugal Poker Series Figueira da Foz. After nine 60- minute levels, Costa bagged 204,700 chips, putting himself as an enormous favourite to win this second event of 1 of the most recent PokerStars tours.
That stack is much more impressive when you think about that, one in every of 54 starters on Day 1A of this €700+€70 tournament, he began with 15,000 chips. When he returns on Sunday for Day 2, blinds can be 500-1,000 (100 ante), this means that he has somewhat greater than 204 big blinds. In total he has greater than 25% of the 810,000 chips in play today, and his closest challenger, Eduardo Ferreira, has 83,700 chips!
Day 1A saw the demise of 2 Portuguese Team PokerStars Pros. Henrique Pinho lost his last chips in any case of the penultimate level of the day, just a bit bit after Nuno Coelho had pocket kings... twice! First he lost 1/2 his stack pre-flop against A-K, then he found himself at the wrong side of a K-K vs. A-A cooler.
Satursay saw another Team PokerStars Pro in play. João Nunes plays, but after a distinct heads-up challenge against Paulo Futre, top-of-the-line Portuguese footballers ever, whose popularity levels in Portugal are, nowadays, higher than ever.
