Welcome back to the beautiful Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort for Day 2 of the 2009 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final. It took two days to play Day 1. During the course of those two days, the 935 players who each put up the EUR 10,000 buy-in were cut down to a shade more than 500. That's almost half the field that has to either go home or find something else to do for the rest of what is shaping up to be a beautiful week here in Monaco.

Team PokerStars Pro Lee Nelson raced out to more than 250,000 chips by the end of Day 1a. That was a chip lead that was not seriously challenged by any of the Day 1b players, with young Canadian Ami Barer coming closest at 207,000. They start the day with a leg up on the field, but there's a long way to go between here and a champion. This was a field loaded with poker talent and many big names are still in the running.

Play is scheduled to get underway at 12 noon local time, in about fifteen minutes. Stick around!
