Team PokerStars Pro Dario Minieri has stormed through to Round 2 of the televised $5,250 NAPT Bounty Shoot Out after busting everyone on his table and collecting $5,000 in bounties in just three hours.
The maverick Italian is one of 36 players who will reconvene on six tables today, from a sell-out starting field of 216. Also through are Team PokerStars Pros Greg Debora, Barry Greenstein, Jude Ainsworth and Ville Wahlbeck plus George Lind from PokerStars Team Online.
Other highlights include a sensational comeback by British EPT Vilamoura champ Toby Lewis, who was down to 425 chips but fought back to snag a Round 2 seat and both Bingers are through. Michael Binger (who came fifth in NAPT LA in November) and his brother Nick will be sitting next to each on Table 3 today.
Jeff Madsen, Shaun Deeb, Andrew Chen, Faraz Jaka, Christopher Klodnicki, Johan Van Til, Amnon Filippi, David Baker and Samuel Chartier are also all among the Day 1 survivors.
The players will return in TWO flights. Tables 1-3 will be back at noon and tables 4-6 back at 19:00.
Don’t forget you can watch the final of the PCA Main Event here from the 15th of January and you can catch last years PCA on The Poker Channel in Europe every Tuesday at 2200 CET.
