Day 2 Recap
An extra 19 players opted to take advantage of the late registration period, which closed when Day 2 began.
Those players swelled the Day 2 field to 86 players, and they were all duking it out to get a slice of the £1,532,600 prize pool. After late registration was over, it was confirmed that the top 23 players would make the money, while the winner would walk away with the £358,550 first-place prize.
Notable names to fall in the early stages included Daniel Dvoress, Conor Beresford and Martin Jacobson. PokerStars ambassadors Alejandro Lococo, Parker Talbot and Sam Grafton were all in attendance for the event’s second day but neither came close to making the paid places. Grafton suffered a cruel beat at the hands of Marigliano. Both players had their stacks committed preflop with ace-king but the Italian would turn a flush to bust one of the games most charismatic stars.
Play began to slow as the bubble approached. It took 16 hands for the field to go from 25 to 24 and then a further six for the bubble to burst. Moonho Seo was the final player to leave empty-handed after his ace-jack could not jump ahead of Keating’s pocket three’s.
After the players were in the money, elimination came thick and fast with the likes of Pavel Plesuv, Danny Tang and Jonathan Proudfoot quickly following each other out of the door.
After Wayne Heung, Timo Kamphues, Leonard Maue and Philip Sternheimer departed, the tournament reached the final two tables.
The ever active Marigliano felted Kassam Rehman after his king-queen got their against Kassam’s pocket pair. 2022 WSOP Main Event Champion Espen Jorstad also ended up on the wrong side of the rail after Keating rivered trips to best his pocket queens.
Andras Nemeth, Martin Strausholm and Bruno Volkmann were the last eliminations of the day. Volkmann was ousted on the last hand of the day while the final 11 players confirmed their spot in the event’s final day, which plays out on Friday, October 28 at 12:30 p.m. BST.
