Less than one third of the field remains and as many of the participants will make the money with the top 36 spots receiving at least €2,087.
Day 1a chip leader Niko Koop maintained the top spot with his massive stack of 385,000 while 2013 Irish Open champion Ian Simpson (292,800) and 2011 Unibet Open Malta champion Mateusz Moolhuizen (274,900) complete the overnight podium.
