Welcome to Day 2 of the Coolbet Open €550 Main Event at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Park Hotel located in the heart of the Estonian capital.

Players traveled from near and far to play in the Main Event with a combined 368 entrants joining the field on Day 1 with the Day 1a field attracting 104 entrants and the Day 1b field attracting 264 entrants. This figure will continue to grow as unlimited reentries are still allowed throughout the late registration period that will close after the first blind level is in the books today on Day 2.

A total of 151 players survived yesterday's action with Day 1b chip leader Kim Christensen from Denmark leading the way to start the day with a huge stack of 190,900 in chips. With 62 more surviving Day 1a, there are a total of 213 players advancing to Day 2 through opening flights.

Behind Christensen on the chip leaderboard are Day 1a chip leader Dmitri Zatsik in second place with 163,700 and Craig Timmis in third place with 152,600.
