Good Game, Day 2
Andrew Pantling was the top dog heading into play this afternoon, but it wasn't long before the field tracked him down. Thanks to an afternoon of fantastically active poker, a herd of players began to accumulate chips, and Pantling was soon swallowed up and spit back out onto the rail. With him out of the way, several other notables began to work their way toward the front. Peter Eastgate, Juha Helppi, Kristoffer "Sumpas" Thorsson, and Roberto Romanello all had their hands on the chip lead at one time or another, but they too found it impossible to stay on top for long.
We'll have to wait for the full counts from the staff, but it appears the Hungarian pro Csaba Toth has earned himself the overnight chip lead. There were still a few hands left to play when the media was relegated to the ropes, but Toth had amassed close to 600,000 by that time, and that should put him comfortably ahead of any late-breaking challengers to his throne.
The big board shows that 79 players have unofficially survived Day 2. That means that the money bubble is looming over the first few levels of tomorrow's Day 3. Sometime early on, we'll pop that bubble and head off toward the final 24 and the eventual push to the final table.
That's all we have for tonight. We'll have the full chip counts and tomorrow's table draw as soon as it's available. And don't forget to check out PokerNews TV if you're still craving some Copenhagen content. Otherwise, we'll see you back here at 2:00pm CET tomorrow!
