Welcome to Day 2 of the 2015 Unibet Open Cannes

Casino Barriere Cannes
Casino Barriere Cannes

After two starting days with 10 levels of one hour each, the €1,000 + €100 Main Event of the 2015 Unibet Poker Open at the Casino Barriere in Cannes has seen an overall field of 411 entries whittled down to the last 121 hopefuls. Only the first 45 spots will receive at least €2,210 for their efforts, doubling their buy in, and the winner can look forward to shiny and unique trophy as well as a payday of €80,000.

Three previous Unibet Open champions remain with doable stacks in Mateusz Moolhuizen (2011 Malta, 83,300), Peter Harkes (2011 Riga, 103,600) and UnibetPoker.fr Team Pro Quentin Lecomte (2013 Cannes, 144,600). In charge before the first card dealt is Day 1a top dog Julien Sitbon (354,300) and Day 1b leaders Julien Pecheur (344,000) as well as Olivier Jach (313,500) complete the podium. Action will resume in half an hour from now at 13:00 local time with level 11 and blinds of 1,200-2,400 and a running ante of 300.

There will be a feature table right from the start on a security delay of 30 minutes and the action is expected to be fast and furious right from the start on the way to the money. Day 2 of the Unibet Open tournaments typically ends with either the last two or the final table of nine remaining, thus expect a long day on the felt.

Notables to look out for include Nicolay Langfeldt (265,400), Vyacheslav Igin (217,000), Mateusz Syc (171,000), Joachim Kleiven (163,100), Peter Eichhardt (109,500), 2013 Irish Open champion Ian Simpson (102,600), Arkadiusz Olszowy (99,900), Gilbert Diaz (75,400) and Vincent Verdickt (63,100).

Make sure to tune into the PokerNews live reporting to find out who makes the money and will be in the spotlight for tomorrow. For everyone here in Cannes, there is also a players party this evening and Unibet knows how to entertain their players.
