Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Day 2 of the EAPT Bratislava Main Event was a bit shorter than expected, at Banco Casino. But 16 players are not going to complain, as they qualified for the final day of the tournament.
They are the remaining players out of a field of 389 entrants. But find a spot on the two last tables wasn't an easy task, as 59 players had the same goal at the beginning of the day. The only one who had an easy day was Mario Alina, thanks to "a crazy run" during the last levels. In 20 minutes, he cracked aces and won a massive pot, then eliminated two players to become the undisputed chip leader of Day 2 with 2,435,000 chips.
In first place at the beginning of the day, Miklos Zsuffa (1,760,000) almost has one million chips less than Alina, and the same goes for Avraham Sisso (1,330,000). Antal Mezei (1,145,000), Ivo Zeravica (1,060,000), and Day 1a chip leader Rostyslav Sabishchenko (1,050,000) also reached the million.
