The field has been cut from 433 players to just 34 after Day 2 of the €250 EPC Mini Main Event, with the lion's share of the €1,000,000 prize pool still up for grabs inside King's Resort

There was no repeat success for any of the Day 1 chip leaders. Asiaka, Libero 5, Anonymized, Jakub Koleckar, Hayk Manasyan and Pasquale Iallonardi all failed to make it through Day 2.
The tournament's bracelet winners were also unable to survive the day, with Stepan Budac, Christopher Campisano and Sebastian Langrock all hitting the rail before the final 34 were set.
Perhaps the biggest name in the field was Will Kassouf, but the usually vocal Brit was unusually quiet at the tables and became an early Day 2 casualty. Kassouf bowed out in 347th place for €575.
Play resumes with blinds of 100,000/200,000, giving chip leader Aggressiv007 60 big blinds to work with. At the other end of the counts, Sascha5k returns with just 300,000, worth less than two big blinds.
As always, stick with PokerNews to keep up with all the action from King's Resort.
