Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
138 players made their way to Casino Schenefeld today, all dreaming of getting their hands on the PokerStars Eureka Hamburg Main Event trophy and corresponding first place prize of €110,070.
After a frantic day of action, only 19 players remain to return for Day 3 and their shot at the trophy, with Dutchman Stan Van Dijk (2,000,500) taking the chip lead into the final day, closely followed by Tim Werner (1,850,000) and Sergej Schumacher (1,645,000) of Germany.
Van Dijk's career best score is second in the Battle of Malta Main Event in 2022 for over $150,000, and he will be hoping to add another six-figure prize to his resume.
Werner and Schumacher both have recorded live cashes totaling under $10,000 and they will be be looking to bag a career-best score, along with the trophy.
PokerStars Qualifier Philipp Ruthard (260,000) is also still going strong, albeit amongst the short-stacks.

Recap of Day 2 Action
138 players started the day, with 87 places in the money and guaranteed a minimum payout of €1,750. The knockouts came quickly at the start of the day as players such as Tjenno Eskes, Alexander Wahl and Jochen Schreiber made early exits, Schreiber after his aces were cracked.
Rens Buijs made an early charge to be among the chip leaders at dinner break, while players such as Claus Spieckermann and Niklas Krawczyk departed just before a 90-minute bubble ensued.
Axel Junker made a huge hero call for his tournament life on the bubble on the river with third pair, while Eazy Wendt-Shabaz spiked an unlikely nine on the river for a set to stay in it and prolong the tension.
The bubble ultimately burst when the unfortunate Floris Pop had his aces cracked.
The knockouts came quickly once the bubble had burst, with players such as Patrick Lorenz and Dominick French departing with a minimum cash.
With 50 players left Malte Von Ostrowski was chip leader having scooped a big pot with two pair. However things started to go south for Ostrowski when he overbet jammed the flop with a gutshot against Julian Paulsen and missed, and he ultimately exited before the end of the day.
Van Dijk made his charge towards the top of the standings when he won a blind on blind confrontation with Gregory Kehren. There were then a flurry of departures before the end of play, as Robert Rohr ran his pocket jacks into Werner's pocket queens, and short-stacks Walter Beckmann and Helge Pedersen busted after the final three-table redraw.
Play gets underway again at 3:00 p.m. local time on Sunday, July 7. Be sure to stay with us at PokerNews for all your coverage as we get towards the nitty gritty of the tournament and play down to a winner here at Casino Schenefeld.
