Cammisuli leads ahead of Balazs Botond, the Eureka4 Prague champion, Botond finished the day with 1,475,000 which is enough to put the Hungarian in second place.

Muur flips well!
Yesterday saw three €100 NL Flipout tournaments running at Portomaso Casino. 2014 PCA finalist Madis Muur took down the first of them. He won €1,190 after beating a 36-strong field in Event #13. Although the Estonian has already won $750k in live tournaments, this is is his first EPT trophy. Georgios-Angelos Tavoularis from Greece and Jacob Van Wijk from Netherlands were the other Flipout winners.
Ladies' Event
Miss Finland Sara Chafak is among 69 players competing for today's EPT Malta €200 Women's Event. The field also includes American pro Elena Stover (,who has just moved to Malta), Maria von Perger (whose daughter Jamila is competing nearby in the IPT Malta Main Event), EPT presenter Gaelle Garcia Diaz, British player Natalie Bromley (third in last season's Grand Final Womens' Event) and serial qualifier Elizabeth Bennett-Martin, who is a regular at the PCA and finished 25th in the Main Event this year for a lifetime best cash of €40,000. Also playing is Jackie Cachia, who hails from Malta and won the Womens Event at EPT London for £3,100. Sabina Hiatullah, the last woman standing in the Deauville's Women's Event (a man won it, long story) and also the Queens' Cup winner at Eureka Rozvadov, would normally be playing but is also still in action in IPT Malta.
Huge field for the €2k
There was a total of 473 for the IPT Malta €2k High Roller. After a record-breaking IPT Main Event, and giant fields for all the other local tour high rollers this season, the Malta edition is expected to attract huge numbers.
Among those who started the day were Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree, PokerStars-sponsored PCA 2014 winner Dominik Panka, PCA 2013 champ Dimitar Danchev, WSOP runner-ups Jorryt van Hoof and Jesse Sylvia plus EPT9 Player of the Year Jan Bendik, Chidwick, Dermot Blain, Patrick Leonard, Kitty Kuo, Fabio Sperling, Michel Abecassis, Steven van Zadelhoff, Ruben Visser, Frederik Jensen, Sam Greenwood and Simon Ravnsbaek. 15 players have won their seat via yesterday's live satellite here in the Portomaso Casino. 63 places will be paid a minimum of €3,900 with €177,000 for the winner.
