Welcome to Day 2 of EPT 11 Grand Final €25,500 High Roller
Ten levels are in the books at European Poker Tour 11 Grand Final €25,500 High Roller, and as you might expect, plenty of big names are sitting at the top of the leaderboard as things roll into Day 2, set to begin at 12:30 local time here in Monte Carlo today.
Steve O'Dwyer (330,200), Tony Gregg (325,800), Max Altergott (311,100), and Matt Waxman (298,500) are the headliners leading the 94 who bagged at the end of Day 1. Team PokerStars pros Daniel Negreanu (182,000), Isaac Haxton (181,700), Scott Seiver (177,700), Sorel Mizzi (154,500), €100,000 Super High Roller winner Erik Seidel (149,100), and Mike "Timex" McDonald (118,800) are also making their presences known and have amassed solid stacks.
Even more high-rolling stars of the game could still show up, as registration is open until 12:15, just before the restart. Players who enter at the last minute will have 50,000 chips to work with as blinds kick off at Level 11 (1,000/2,000/300). Certainly, it's not a ton, but a workable stack nonetheless with 25 big blinds. Today's agenda is identical to Day 1, with 10 one-hour levels on tap. The only change is the possibility of an early stop should the tournament be whittled down to 8 players, at which point play would stop and everyone would come back for the official final table tomorrow.
