The 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour €1,100 National attracted a bumper field of 2,486 players, eclipsing the mark of 2,117 from the same time last year.

Heading into Day 2, that number has been whittled down to just 373, all of whom are in the money. The exact payouts are yet to be confirmed, but rest assured that PokerNews will bring them to you as soon as they are made available to us.

As is to be expected in such a big field at such a major poker festival, there are some big names in the field, including Day 1c chip leader Jasper Meijer Van Putten who starts today second in chips. Van Putten won the last EPT Main Event to be held in Prague back in 2016 for €699,300.

The overall chip leader is Harpreet Padda who topped Day 1b. Here are the top three chip counts from each flight.
