EPT Campione Main Event Day 2: Davide Andreoni Leads Overall
Hello and welcome back to our live coverage of the European Poker Tour Campione Main Event where today the 325 surviving players from Day 1a and 1b will combine for the first time in this tournament meaning once again the vast tournament area on the ninth floor of the Casino di Campione will be full to bursting.
When play does get underway the man everyone has to catch is Italian Davide Andreoni who finished Day 1a with what has turned out to be a tournament-leading stack of 175,100 chips. The man who ended Day 1a second in chips, Chile's Nick Yunis, will start Day 2 in second place and it should be interesting to see how he uses his 169,200 chips today against a much more experience group of poker players.
Amongst the huge crowd will be a handful of Team PokerStars pros in the shape of Arnaud Mattern, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Liv Boeree, Eugene Katchalov (all from Day 1b) along with Luca Pagano and Alex Kravchenko ( from Day 1a).
Play kicks off at 14:00 CET and it could be a long, long day folks. There is the exclusive player's party tonight that is due to be held on a boat in the Laguno but after a brief conversation with the tournament director over breakfast this morning it appears we could be playing up to seven 75-minute levels today!
We're not too bothered about that prospect though as we will simply stock up on coffee, energy drinks and sugary snacks to ensure that you get to witness the action, as it happens, in the EPT Campione main event. Join us from 14:00CET when Homer, MarcC and YorkshirePud will be out amongst the stars trying to paint you a picture of the day's play.
Until then, it is power nap time!
