Day 2 is Over; 42 Players Remain

[user46392]

Well, it's been fast and it's been furious. In eight short levels the field has been whittled down from 182 to just 42 players, and with 56 places playing out we are now well inside the money.

Those who fell short of the cash include such luminaries as Day 1a chip leader Annette Obrestad and Day 1a second chip leader Arnaud Mattern, both Paganos, and top Hungarian player and two-time EPT runner-up Denes Kalo. Those making the cash but not Day 3 included Sorel Mizzi, Danny Ryan, and EPT Live's own Kara Scott.

Still in the running, though, are Johnny Lodden, Casey Kastle, Ivo Donev, and Robin Keston. Join us back here at PokerNews tomorrow from 1pm local time to find out who makes the coveted final table...

Just before the summary ejection of the press, though, Pantelis Pavlis doubled through Janek Schleicher with {A-Spades}
