Welcome back to Day 2 of the 2011 PokerStars.com EPT Barcelona Main Event. After the completion of Day 1b last night, a total of 407 players will be back to action today starting at noon local time. Heading the advancing field is Day 1b chip leader and French poker pro Guillaume Darcourt who bagged up a whopping 195,300 in chips. Behind in is Day 1a's chip leader Martin Schleich with 182,100.

The highest-ranking Team PokerStars Pro is Eugene Katchalov. The member of Team Pro Ukraine bagged up 153,100 in chips last night. He'll be joined by fellow team members Leo Fernandez, Matthias De Meulder, Andre Akkari, Rino Mathis, Ville Wahlbeck, Jason Mercier and Vanessa Selbst, among others, here today. The shortest stack of the Team Pros is Jonathan Duhamel. The 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion only managed to bag up 18,400 in chips, but this is poker and anything can happen with the turn of a few cards.
