Welcome to Day 2
Of course, while the weather might be mild outdoors, conditions should be rough once players enter the arena. A total of 203 return for today's Day 2, all with hopes of lasting into the top forty and the money, and ultimately claiming all of the chips and that €330,000 first prize.
Viktor Ivanov of Russia begins today with the biggest stack of 153,825, with Ukrainian Mihalyo Demidenko not far behind with 145,125. Those two are followed by a half-dozen more with 100,000-plus, and many others still well within the hunt.
Play is scheduled to start in about 15 minutes, although there may be a bit of a delay before the first hands are dealt. Stay tuned!
