UKIPT6 Marbella Day 1A: Tsontu tops the primary of 3 flightsNO Deposit bonus $43

Everyone likes an even old-fashioned summer holiday, right? Spain has long been a spot where the British and Irish descend for his or her annual time within the sun. Marbella had always been a well-liked spot and had evolved through the years. Bars showing Only Fools and Horses repeats while serving up an entire English/Irish breakfast are slowly being replaced by poolside day clubs serving sushi over ice. One consistent trend over the last few years have been the UKIPT popping out mid June to satisfy up with its Estrellas cousin, and together they host the PokerStars Marbella festival.

The Main Event kicked off today with Day 1A and attracted 284 players. It played out over twelve 45-minute levels and in the end the bagging up took place, Tinlay Tsontu amassed essentially the most chips with 281,800. He's closely followed by Grzegorz Idziak (260,700), Bob Janssens (254,700) and Alexander Voytko (229,100).

Great day on the office for Tsontu

The last of those players could even have ended the day as chip leader but for a controversial last hand of the night. Voytko was forced to pay an opponent almost 60,000 after the dealer accidentally mucked his hand. He had raised and collected two callers before a player within the blinds squeezed all-in for just below 60,000. Voytko called and that prompted the 2 callers to fold their hands however the dealer thought all three players had folded and dragged all cards into the muck. It was a particularly unfortunate situation for Voytko however the rules state it's his responsibility to give protection to his hand even supposing the dealer made a mistake. It will possibly have cost him the chips lead but no less than he'll be back on Day 2 to fight another day.

Expensive lesson for Voytko

Raine did well within the sun

Other players though to Day 2 are: Milos Skrbic (218,100), Jon Gonzalez (209,200), Seun Oluwole (201,800), Neil Raine (114,600), Guy Taylor (100,900) and can Davies (96,200). A COMPLETE of 70 players made it through to Day, and the whole counts will also be read here.

Vicente Delgado may now live within the UK but he's still one among Spain's hottest young poker talents and crushed the net satellites leading as much as this event. He came 20th on this event two years ago and was depending on course to head deep on this event. He shot to an early chip lead with 80,000 but not long after he was out with Tomasz Wrobel looking like his executioner.

Delagdo is frequently back for Day 1C tomorrow night

Tom Holke's first ever tournament cash was a win. The vibrant player from Hamburg, who's a walking, talking German flag took down the inaugural Eureka in his hometown just over a year ago but he couldn't repeat the similar success here. Noelia Ivars Rico and Sabina Hiatullah were two of several females within the field today but suffered bad beats to bust though. Each of them got their stack in good with sets but neither could hold to the river and can be trying their luck in Day 1C tomorrow.

Tom Holke always plays with a smile

Day 1C tomorrow I hear you ask? Isn't it imagined to be Day 1B tomorrow? Day 1B will play out tomorrow just as Day 1A played out today, but then at 10pm, they'll be a third, turbo flight. It's something that's been tried out at the Eureka Poker tour and proven highly regarded. It is only open to those that have already busted from either Day 1A or Day 1B, no players could be in a position to enter it as their first entry. The degrees could be 20 minutes long and it'll last a bit over four hours.
