Welcome to Day 1b of EPT Campione!

The casino in Campione.
The casino in Campione.

Welcome to start day number two here in Campione on the ninth floor of Europe's biggest casino. We're expecting a much bigger field today with many big names flocking to this little part of Italy that is situated within Switzerland. Indeed, on the glorious ten-minute walk from our hotel just outside Campione I bumped into the English trio of Chris Moorman, John Eames and PokerStars qualifier Mathew Frankland halfway through their lunchtime paninis.

Elsewhere PokerStars Team Pro Liv Boeree has just walked into the press room to say hello, she'll be joined today by teammates Lex Veldhuis, Victor Ramdin and Italy's own Dario Minieri with many more also expected.

The tournament is due to start at 2pm, but given that we had about a 15 minute delay yesterday, it wouldn't be surprisingly if we had a similar delay today given a lot more players will be turning up for the first time.
