Day 2 Started
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!

Sarah Grant caught up with some big names on their way into Day 2. Listen to PokerStars Pros Arnaud Mattern and Angel Guillen respectively.
Level: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 100
Arnaud Mattern is out, the Frenchman losing a flip with to Stefano Demontis' after the board came , Mattern's pocket treys counterfeited on the river.
Konstantinos Nanos has been knocked out by Iulian Ruxandescu after the Greek player came off second best when he was all in with against the Romanian's . The board came , not even a snifter of hope for Nanos who becomes another one of our early casualties.
Short stacks are plunging across the line all over the place - with 299 Day 2 players the first minutes of the first level were always going to be crucial for those working with the lower chip counts. Both Nam Le and Pieter de Korver ended up just a few chips up after shipping it with equal or dominated hands - which must be a positive result!
Le moved in for less than 9,000 with , running into Kirill Telezhkin's in the blind, but a board of brought chop #1.
De Korver moved in for 19,900, promptly isolated by Jose Nadal's splash of yellow 5k chips with - he showed and said, "Nice hand," as the board ran out for chop #2.
David Vamplew is one of the few short stacks getting a full double through at the moment - and with an unlikely hand which the TV cameras caught outdrawing a dominating . Vamplew had shoved the button for 24,000 over a late position limp with and looked like he was getting ready to leave before the flop brought him a ten and the rest of the board no upset. Up to 50,000.
Ben Vinson has left the tournament, running into the of Andrew Li preflop. Li had opened, been raised by Rob Akery to 6,500, and found button Vinson shoving for around 33,000 (his Day 2 starting stack). Li covered both potential opponents comfortably and moved in enough chips to set Akery at risk too. He passed, and Vinson stood up as the board ran out .
Canadian Simon Charette is busto - having raised to 3,000 and been called by Hans Sybrandi, he moved in over Ruben Velasio Merino's 8,700 reraise, called immediately by the Spaniard with . His was in trouble, and although the flop brought flush possibilities, they failed to come in on the turn and river.
The second table of the day is already broken and the pace of play these 300 Day 2-ers is maintaining is frankly astonishing.
