Michal Mrakeš Leads the Way Heading Into Day 3 of the partypoker LIVE MILLION Main Event
Level 25
: 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Day 2 of the €1 million guaranteed 2017 partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €1,100 Main Event at King's Casino Rozvadov was a huge success. The day began with 299 hopefuls competing out of the 820 entrants participating in the seven opening days. By the end of the day, the field was trimmed down to just 26 players.
Local Czech player Michal Mrakeš leads the way after Day 2 with 8.255 million chips closely followed by German WSOP gold bracelet winner Eddy Scharf with 7.955 million. A little luck helped Mrakeš along as in a hand he became the first player to reach the 4 million chip count after his ace-seven eliminated two players holding ace-queen.
Shortly after the dinner break, the money bubble broke with the remaining 100 players guaranteed at least a €2,000 payout. Partypoker Sponsored pro Natalia Breviglieri, who is still among the players returning for tomorrow's final day, eliminated Czech Republic's Ondrej Már after her pocket queens held against her opponents ace-king.
Other players to fall short of the money during Day 2 included partypoker Sponsored Pros Anatoly Filatov and Jan-Peter Jachtmann. Despite falling short in the Main Event, both players have had a remarkable festival with Filatov shipping the High Roller yesterday for €42,000 as part of a three-way deal and Jachtmann winning over €61,000 in a televised cash game on Thursday.
Meanwhile, players to cash in the tournament but not advance to Day 3 included Rehman Kassam and Kuljinder "Kully" Sidhu who were eliminated during the same hand in 65th and 64th places respectfully to bank €3,200.
Also eliminated in the money on Day 2 were former EPT Grand Final winner Jan Bendik (46th - €4,000), Tomas Fara (45th - €4,500) and James Akenhead (40th - €4,500).
Main Event action will resume tomorrow at noon local time. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to report all big hands and bad beats until a winner is crowned.
Also taking place tomorrow is the Turbo Day 1b flight of the partypoker LIVE MILLION €1,100 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max. The tournament has currently attracted 104 entrants and needs another 96 to join the turbo Day 1b field at noon tomorrow to meet its huge €200,000 guaranteed prize pool. The second and final day of this event will kick off minutes after Day 1b is completed.
Players Flying Out in the Dying Hours
Level 25
: 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Last three hands resulted in a couple of eliminations and one massive pot. Ethem Tosun was eliminated when he got it all-in with 
against 
. The flop ran out 
, and Adriatik Agalliu scooped the 3.2M pot.
Shortly after Mirza Meškič was all-in holding tens against queens, and the Austrian didn't get there.
The last hand to drag out the day by an additional ten minutes was a big one.
Hael Al-Labani made it 225,000 under the gun, and Edzevit Zukorlic called in the next seat over. Jaroslav Peter raised to 600,000 in the cutoff, and Hael Al-Labani made the call before Edzevit Zukorlic all of a sudden moved all-in for 2.15 million.
Peter thought long and hard before folding, and now it was Al-Labani's time to go into the tank. After a while, he threw in a chip indicating the call, and hands were on their back.
Zukorlic: 
Al-Labani: 
The board ran out 
, and after the river hat hit the felt Zukorlic slammed his hand down on the poker table celebrating the massive pot but scaring the dealer and nearby players in the process. With that pot, Zukorlic bags up around 5M while Al-Labani took quite the hit and ended up bagging 1.2M.
That's it for tonight. Chip counts and an end-of-day recap will follow shortly. Stay tuned.

Last Three Hands
Level 25
: 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The last three hands of the day have just been announced.
Fast, Furious and Tons of Value
Level 25
: 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
If you are looking for some action packed fun with value, the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €1,100 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max should be right up your alley. The first of the two opening days attracted 104 entrants.
At least another 96 entrants need to join the tournament tomorrow during the turbo Day 1b at 12 p.m. tomorrow for the buy-ins to meet the huge €200,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Eddy Scharf Tops the Standings After Massive Double Knock-Out
Level 25
: 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Eddy Scharf entered the pot with a raise to 225,000 from second position, and Daniel Malek in the cutoff moved all-in for around 800,000. Lukas Jebany in the small blind moved in over the top for 1.7 million, and Eddy Scharf with the bigger stack quickly made the call.
Daniel Malek: 
Lukas Jebany: 
Eddy Scharf: 
The WSOP bracelet holder was a favorite to secure a late night double knock-out, and that was exactly what happened as the dealer completed the 
board.
Scharf is now the overwhelming chip leader with more than three times the average stack. A cautious guess on Scharf's massive stack would be around 7.5 million.
