The Golden Poker Million Cyprus Main Event has been a resounding success. After today's Day 1f flight was completed, a total of 1,178 entrants participated with 120 players surviving.

The 120 players were whittled down to just 50 players after Day 2 which featured hour-long blind levels. Russia's Alexey Romanov ended the day on the top of the charts with a massive stack of 5,475,000 in chips.

Romanov's lead isn't huge as there are several players just on his tail including Dan Dumitru Apostol (5,115,000), Shlomi Shimoni (5,015,000), Ioannis Chorianopoulos (4,980,000), and Josef Gulas (4,845,000).

Final Four Hands

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The tournament director announced the final four hands of Day 2.

Enriquez Ousts Rodriguez

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Norberto Lopez Rodriguez three-bet jammed for about 450,000 with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and was called by Kim Enriquez with {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

It looked like Rodriguez would double after he paired the {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop. But the {j-Clubs} came on the turn to give his opponent a set.

The {a-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Rodriguez was eliminated.

Also recently eliminated were Ali Hassan and Patricia Figueira.

No More Americans

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Joseph Bray has been eliminated in the Main Event, meaning there are no more players from the United States remaining.

He had about 30 big blinds in his stack when he got them into the pot with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and was up against the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} held by Ioannis Chorianopoulos.

The {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} ran out on the board and Chorianopoulos was up to around 7 million in chips after the hand.

Mounim Kaddouri also hit the rail around the same time.

Final Blind Level of Day 2

Ante: 40,000

Quads on the Board

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ali Hassan opened the button for 70,000 and Patrick Beuter called. Beuter check-jammed the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop from 50,000 to 320,000 and Hassan called.

Patrick Beuter: {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Ali Hassan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Ali was ahead and had a flush draw, while Beuter had an open-ended straight draw. The {8-Clubs} came on the turn followed by the {8-Hearts} on the river to put quads on the board. Hassan had the ace-kicker and Beuter was eliminated.

Also recently ousted were David Algarra and Marius Brinceanu.
