Field Ready for Winamax Poker Open Main Event Day 2
Over the course of two days, 373 players from Day 1A and 696 players from Day 1B have been whittled down to just over 200, and they will combine today at the Citywest hotel in Dublin on their quest to run deep in this year's Winamax Poker Open Main Event.
As is to be expected, there are still a whole lot of Frenchmen and women still in the field, including Team Winamax Pros Bruno Lopes, Sylvain Loosli, Gaelle Baumann, Romain Lewis, Davidi Kitai, Aladin Reskallah and Ivan Deyra.
Lopes is in fact the chip leader, and is the only player over 800,000 in chips. Yesterday's chip leader Laurent Decauwert is slightly behind him on 750,000 and we will be keeping an eye out for the pair of them.
There are still a smattering of Irish players among the remaining players, with tournament regular Dara O'Kearney sticking around alongside compatriots Jude Ainsworth and Liam O'Donoghue.
Action gets underway at 12 p.m. local time. Level lengths are increased to 50 minutes on Day 2.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates here on Day 2.

Eliminations Fast and Furious in Level 15
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The tournament clock has just ticked into Level 16 and the clock reads 177 players left. That means that we lost an astonishing 54 players in the first level. They included Gaelle Baumann and Nicholas Bastard, as well as Patrick Clarke and Sebastien Coq.
Davidi Kitai Soaring
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
We said at the beginning of the day that Bruno Lopes and other players with large stacks would have to be on the lookout for Winamax Pro Davidi Kitai, who came into the day with a healthy stack.
Well his stack is even healthier now after eliminating a player.
A player opened and a short stack at the table moved all in for 60,000. Davidi Kitai then moved all in for 700,000. The initial raiser, whose stack was around 200,000 decided to call for his tournament life.
Kitai held 
while both of his opponents showed 
. The flop came all spades and Kitai held on to scoop the pot and eliminating two players.
