The 2021 PokerStars EPT Online continues at PokerStars, and Day 2 of Event #18: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, Super High Roller], $500k Gtd - Trophy Event #10 will begin shortly at 1:05 p.m. ET.
Day 1 saw 69 entries create a total prize pool of $690,000, with half of it going to the regular prize pool and half going to the bounty prize pool. Nine players made it into the money, and those remaining contenders will be battling it out soon for the $81,432 top prize, bounties, and the EPT Online trophy.
Mike "SirWatts" Watson (4,102,145) leads the pack with a comfortable 117 big blinds. Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford (2,929,694) and Lucio "WizardOffAz" Lima round out the top three stacks with 84 big blinds and 64 big blinds, respectively.
Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden (735,633) is coming into the final table seventh in chips and will be looking to take home another piece of hardware, after winning an EPT Online Super High Roller Trophy Event only two days ago.
Since nine players remain in this tournament, blind levels will be 30-minutes in length and play will resume with blinds at 17,500-35,000 with a 4,500 ante. The average stack heading into the day is 1,916,666 chips, good for 55 big blinds.
