Leading the field into Day 2 is 1b chip leader Marian Strachinescu with 345,000 while three other countrymen follow next in Vladut Paun (326,500), 1a chip leader Andrei Grimberg (325,500) and Tudor Bartha Laza (324,000). Three non-Romanian players made it into the top ten thus far with the two Dutchmen Tom Vogelsang (308,000) and Teun Herman (288,000), as well as Avi Cohen (252,500), while Tudor Purice (252,500) will return to the tables with nearly two times the average.

Other notables still in contention include Yasen Dichev (248,000), Stephane Allard (243,000), Alexander Ioan (239,000), Ran Azor (211,000), Jose Luis Capdevila (163,000), Eric Wasylenko (119,000), €2,200 High Roller runner-up Katsuhiro Muto (105,000), Age Spets (61,500), Catalin Pop (55,000) and Johan Goslings (27,000).

The action resumes at 12 p.m. noon local time with level 12 and blinds of 1,500/3,000 and a running ante of 500.
