£560 Main Event
Day 2 Started
We have reached the business end of the inaugural Eurasian Poker Tour £560 UK Main Event with the start of Day 2 at Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club, Nottingham
The 132 players who made the money the past two days will be joined by the 14 online entrants, as well as the players who advanced in the turbo flight earlier today.
The current chip leader is Ryan Cooper with 3,710,000 chips. He recently enjoyed his first-ever recorded five-figure score for £16,872. He will be looking to better that, but there is a plethora of talent looking to hunt him down.
Francis Obadun sits in second place and has already been involved in several crazy hands in this tournament. On Day 1a Obadun covered four other players in a preflop 340 big-blind pot. Obadun lost out to Richard Shepherd whose pocket sixes made a seven-high straight.
Day 1c chip leader Foad Sattarzadeh occupies third position, but there are plenty of big names still in the hunt including Will Kassouf, Chris Da-Silva, Albert Sapiano and Simon Higgins.

The last chance to make Day 2 is on the verge of conclusion. A total of 122 players made the early 10 a.m. start of the turbo flight, with 24 players advancing to Day 2.
Currently, 26 players remain, so only two more eliminations are required for the players to bag-up, have a quick break and jump right back into the action.
The turbo flight has just concluded and the floor staff are currently moving the bagged chips to the tables.
