Day 2 Started
€25,500 High Roller
Day 2 Started
A staggering 205 entries were made into the €25,000 High Roller, making this the largest High Roller on European Soil in the 10 season history of the European Poker Tour. Registration is still open till the start of play, so that number might even increase a little too. Of those 205 entries, 95 players were still active at the end of the day late last night.
The plan for today is to play down to a final table, or ten full one-hour levels. With an average stack of a little 100,000 and blinds to begin at 1,000/2,000 (300 ante), there's more than enough play left. So 10 levels is more likely to happen than to form a final table today.
Leading the way is Benny Spindler who amassed 384,300 in chips. He'll start the day with 192 big blinds. Ismail Erkenov (355,600), John Juanda (290,600) and Dmitry Yurasov (242,000) also did a great job of collecting chips on the first day. Scott Seiver (22,900), Martin Jacobson (21,200) and Marvin Rettenmaier (20,500) will have a much tougher job staying alive in today's tournament full of sharks.
The official chip counts of all the players have not yet been released by the tournament organization. A table draw is also nog likely to be released before play starts. When we get the official numbers, we'll be sure to update them right here in the PokerNews live reporting blog.
Play will again start at noon today. Check back with PokerNews for coverage in two and a half hours!

There's a staggering €5,243,000 in the prize pool. The exact distribution hasn't been made public yet, as soon as that happens we'll update our pay outs tab. A total of 214 entries were made, 167 unique entrants and 47 reentries. 109 players remain at this time.
Griffin Benger lost his stack late last night, and reentered this morning. On the first hand of the day though, all those chips are gone.
He had a conversation with Finger last night about Finger's aggressive style. Finger admitted he indeed played very aggressive, not even scared away from raising hands like nine-three off suit.
With that in the back of his head, Benger played his pocket eights very strong. Unfortunately for Benger, Finger had a real hand this time. Benger pushed with his eights after some raising, and Finger made the call with queens. No eight or other escape for Benger and he busted in the first hand of the day.
