Day 2 is just about to kick off in the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Europe Main Event. A total of 160 players come back from the combined Day 1 and Day 2 fields, out of a total of 380 entrants. The remaining players, as well as any late registrants who might make a late entry into the tournament today, are playing to get a part of the €5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool as the event plays on at King’s Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic.

The tournament resumes today at noon local time, beginning a Level 9 with the blinds at 15000/30000. Late registration is available until the beginning of Level 11, which will start around 2:20 p.m. local time. The tournament will play down to the money today.

A field of some of poker’s most talented players will be in the room today. Big stacks coming into Day 2 include the overall chip leader Freddy Deeb, who went on a big run in the Day 1b flight and enters the day with 5,875,000 in chips.

Deeb is followed by Piet Pape (5,585,000) and Yake Wu (5,500,000), both of whom came out of the Day 1b flight with Deeb. That trio is joined at the top of the chip leaderboard by Day 1a chip leader Mikhail Vilkov (4,850,000), with a number of top contenders trailing just behind.

Some of the notables that will be in attendance include Charlie Carrel (2,975,000), Kenny Hallaert (2,930,000), Alex Foxen (2,140,000), Maria Lampropulos (1,855,000), partypoker pro Joao Simao (1,825,000), Kahle Burns (1,655,000), Orpen Kisacikoglu (1,615,000), Jack Sinclair (1,410,000), Ryan Riess (1,150,000) and Ben Heath (1,114,000).

Today's action is scheduled for eight 60-minute levels, with a 20-minute break after every two levels. After that, the action will continue as needed until the money bubble bursts.

Mulder Off to a Great Start

Level 9 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Teun Mulder in the €25K Super High Roller
Teun Mulder in the €25K Super High Roller

Teun Mulder and Jenya Gavrilovich are both in the tournament for the maximum of three bullets but Mulder is already close to the number of chips he paid for. Mulder started the hand with well over 2 million already.

The Dutchman raised from the hijack to 70,000 before Gavrilovich, who also entered today with a new stack of 1,000,000 like Mulder, called from the big blind.

The flop was dealt {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Gavrilovich check-called a bet of 55,000 from Mulder. Gavrilovich then took over the betting initiative on the {q-Diamonds} turn but Mulder had none of it. Gavrilovich bet 105,000 and Mulder raised to 250,000 after he asked how much Gavrilovich had behind.

Gavrilovich quickly folded and Mulder is closing in on 3,000,000 chips.

Ryan Riess got his chips in the middle with {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} but his was no good against the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} of Raoul Refos. The board ran out with a full house on it {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Refos still had the better hand.

Dietrich Fast
Dietrich Fast

Dietrich Fast came into Day 2 with one of the top stacks in the room, and he's added more than two million chips to the pile in the first two levels of the day.

Fast's latest triumph came in a blind versus blind pot against Christopher Frank, in which Fast bet 40,000 on a {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop, from the small blind. Frank called from the big blind, and both players checked the {8-Hearts} turn, and Fast bet 40,000 on the {a-Spades} river.

Frank called, but mucked when Fast turned over {k-Spades}{q-Spades}.
