PokerStars.net EPT Berlin Day 1B is in the books and four Team PokerStrategy.com members advance to Day 2. Joining 
vovoleo and MikaPaasonen on Day 2 will be BongBob, VojtaR, TripleAceIRL, and Thorsten77.
Thorsten77 had the best day of them all chipping up just before days end. He sent an opponent to the rail when his K-K held up against A-J. That pot elevated Thorsten77's stack to 146,600 which was just enough to overtake VojtaR in the standings.
VojtaR finished right behind Thorsten77 on Day 1B with 140,800. VojtaR accumulated a portion of his stack when his Q-Q took down a broken straight draw. His opponent was holding 9-7 on a 10-10-8-K-3 board. VojtaR's queens were able to dodge bullets helping to propel him to a healthy stack.
BongBob and TripleAceIRL also had impressive performances on Day 1B. BongBob was able to finish the day with 80,600 and TripleAceIRL was able to bag 68,600 chips. With the blinds set at 600/1,200/100 ante, both players have a great opportunity to make a deep run in the tournament.
Best of luck to the remaining Team PokerStrategy.com members at PokerStars.net EPT Berlin!
