Welcome to Day 2 of the 2016 PokerStars.com EPT13 Malta €25,750 Super High Roller
In two hours from now at 12.30 p.m. local time, Day 2 of the 2016 PokerStars.com EPT13 Malta €25,750 Super High Roller will get underway at the Casino Portomaso. The first day of the event saw a total of 44 unique players and 16 re-entries to create a field of 60 entries, of which 27 bagged up chips over night.
Leading the field is UK's Patrick Leonard, who now resides in Hungary, with 260,000, and he is closely followed by EPT10 Vienna Main Event champion Oleksii Khoroshenin with 256,000. Both already met at the final table of the EPT13 Barcelona €10,300 High Roller back in August this year, where Leonard finished 7th for €169,700 and Khoroshenin claimed a payday of €396,700 after coming 4th respectively.
In third place is Dario Sammartino with 202,900 and the Italian already enjoyed a decent start into this festival after finishing 3rd in Event #1, the €10,300 High Roller for €81,480. Other big stacks and notables include Mikita Badziakouski (195,500), Scott Seiver (194,700), David "MissOracle" Yan (146,700), Ole Schemion (132,000), Max Silver (131,500) and Davidi Kitai (100,300)to name just a few.
Action resumes with level 11 and blinds of 1,000-2,000 with a running ante of 300. All players that busted throughout Day 1 and only fired one bullet can still re-enter until 15 minutes prior to the start of Day 2, one such candidate is Paul Newey who busted in the last hand of the night. Furthermore, Alex DiFelice won his seat in a Hyperturbo Satellite and will be joining with a fresh stack of 50,000.
Another 10 levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled with a break every two levels and a dinner break after the end of level 16. However, play may continue until the final table of the last six is reached. Check back regularly to see who makes the cut for tomorrow, as the PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to provide updates until a winner is crowned.

Paul Newey Eliminated Right Off The Bat
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Yesterday, British High Roller Paul Newey was eliminated in the last hand of the day, but he bought himself back in for a second chance on day 2. Unfortunately for Newey, his second attempt ended on the first hand he played.
In the second hand of the day, Yan opened the action to 4,300 from under the gun. Paul Newey shoved all in from the blinds, for a little under 50,000, and Yan called right away.

Scott Seiver
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Morten Mortensen was first to act and raised to, what we believe was 5,100. Adrian Mateos called on the button and big blind Scott Seiver came along for the ride as well.
The flop came 
and Seiver and Mortensen both checked. Mateos bet 7,500 and just Seiver called, Mortensen folded. Seiver check-called another 22,000 on the 
turn before the 
completed the board.
Seiver checked and Mateos thought about it for a fair bit before checking behind. Seiver said "Queen", showing 
and Mateos mucked.
"If I thought you were gonna bet I had this whole speech prepared, 'You have black nines, don't do it" but it's still early and I'm tired" Seiver said. The speech wasn't needed, Seiver took it down without a chip going in on the river.

Khoroshenin and Leonard Tangle Right Away
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Patrick Leonard and Oleksii Khoroshenin, the two chipeaders in this tournament, are seated together at table 1. They got involved in a big pot in one of the first few hands of the day.
Leonard raised to 4,500 and Khoroshenin called from the button, big blind Max Silver came along as well.
Silver checked to Leonard on the 
flop and the chipleader continued for 10,000. Khoroshenin tanked for a minuted and called. Silver got out of the way quickly.
The landed on the turn, this time Leonard fired out a bet of 24,000. Again, Khoroshenin took his time before he called.
The completed the board and after some thought, Leonard checked to his opponent. Khoroshenin also took a couple of minutes before sliding out a bet of 67,000.
"That was a nasty river", Leonard said, before he let go of his, which made it Khoroshenin the new chipleader of this High Roller.

Greendwood and Chidwick Under Pressure
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Sam Greenwood bet the 
turn for 6,200 into a pot of around 10,500 and Ramin Hajiyev in the big blind raised to 17,400. Greenwood folded.
Soon after, Stephen Chidwick raised to 4,000 and folded to the shove of Greenwood from one seat over.
Chidwick himself defended his big blind against the open raise to 4,500 by Mikita Badziakouski. On the 
flop, Chidwick bet 4,500 and Badziakouski raised enough to put Chidwick at risk if he'd call. The Brit elected to fold instead.
Greenwood then had to give up a pot against Andras Nemeth to fall back to starting stack.
