Amongst some of the notable Day 1b names still alive in the field are Annette Obrestad, Thor Hansen, Liam Flood, Luca Pagano, Surinder Sunar, Katja Thater and Juha Helppi. Despite the large contingent of A-list pros who came out to play on Day 1b, it was Ludovic Lacay who stole the show, amassing a field-leading stack with his super aggressive strategy. We’ll post the official chip counts after the tournament staff bags up all of the chips and ships the counts our way.
Players will redraw new seats for Day 2 and we’re told play will be eight-handed to start the day. The total prizepool for the event came out to be €1,701,700 (approximately $2.45 million USD). Join us at 2:00 p.m. local time for our continued coverage of the PokerStars.com EPT Dublin as we play down to 24 players. Until then, good luck and good night from Dublin!
According to Kremser, the plan for tomorrow is to play down to the money (24 players) and then on Friday we'll play down to a final table.
Surinder Sunar has lost a bit of his muster and has dropped to approximately 20,000 in chips, while Annette Obrestad has climbed to 26,000.
Ben Grundy is short-stacked at the moment, currently sitting with 4,700 in chips.
Ludovic's only major live cash occurred earlier this month and it was a big one: a second place finish at the WPT Spanish Championship, worth € 295,200.

The flop is nine high with two clubs, and Roy check-raises to 9,000. Liam's response is to push over the top and Roy -- pot committed now with over half his stack in the middle -- calls with

and the flush does not hit on the turn or river. Roy Brindley is eliminated and Liam moves up to 40,000, surely the climber of the day!
