After six starting flights over the past four days at the International Poker Open, the remaining field finally combines for Day 2 of the €250,000 guaranteed Main Event, getting underway at 1 p.m. local time. inside the magnificent Bonnington Dublin Hotel.
The hyper-turbo flight is still running and will finish just before cards are dealt for Day 2, so the current number of players starting today is yet to be determined. However, the total number of entrants for the IPO Main Event is 909, which has smashed last year's field of 794 players!
A total of 148 players qualified for Day 2 through the first five opening flights, but because Joe Ward qualified twice, only his largest stack will be brought through, meaning the current number stands at 147 before the Day 1e qualifiers are added to the field.
Leading the pack heading into Day 2 is Bolivia’s Rodrigo Diaz with an enormous stack of 452,000, which he accumulated during Day 1c. Hot on his heels is Aidan Quinlan with 444,000, while Paul Carr rounds out the top three positions with a stack of 420,000.
