Main Event Day 2 | 2011 European Poker Tour Grand Final Madrid

299 players will return today with David Sonelin the chip leader - he has 275,900, just ahead of Brian England (238,300) and EPT Berlin winner Ben Wilinofsky (233,400).

Today's plan is for six 75 minute levels which we believe will take us to (or at least close to) the 104 spots that are being paid, each guaranteeing a minimum of at least €15,000.

As always with second days on an EPT, it's likely to be a frantic start with a high amount of bust-outs in the first couple of levels before gradually slowing down as the money bubble looms. There is a number of PokerStars Team Pros stll involved in the action, Alex Gomes is currently doing the best, he sits in 4th place overall with 225,900 while Ivan Demidov, Leo Fernandez and Juan Maceiras are all over the 100,000 chip mark..

Play will begin at 12pm local time, see you then!
