Welcome to Day 1B of the PokerStars.com EPT Madrid!
![[user76023]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We're back for the second start day of EPT Madrid where we're expecting a larger field than yesterday's 125. We've already heard that the 11am bus from the centre of Madrid was full and players were not able to get on the bus and will be late for the event.
On our own bus which we shared with the poker dealers from a much closer hotel, we spotted Eli Elezra near the back, perhaps times are so hard he's now going to be dealing the cards? (Or more than likely he's chosen the option of a nearby hotel rather than the 45 minute drive to the centre of town).
Among the players expected today include Team Pros Nacho Barbero, Leo Fernandez, Nacho Barbero, Sandra Naujoks, Richard Toth, ElkY, Johnny Lodden, Theo Jorgensen, Fatima Moreira de Melo and Eugene Katchalov as well as former EPT winner Kevin MacPhee, Davidi Kitai, Nicolas Levi, Toby Lewis, Rupert Elder, Jake Cody and the currently-on-a-hot-streak Steve O'Dwyer. We'll be starting very shortly and playing eight levels straight through with no dinner breaks.
