The €500 Main Event of the Winamax Poker Open (WPO) in Banco Casino, here in Bratislava, continues today with Day 2, which is set to kick off today at 12 p.m. local time.

Over a total of five starting flights in the last three days, an impressive 1,577 entries were recorded in this six-max event. Of those, 271 players will be returning to the felt today to battle it out as all starting flights merge for the first time.

An official prize pool and payout structure are yet to be announced, but it is confirmed that all remaining players are in the money and have secured a minimum cash of €1,000.

Going into Day 2 the overall chip leader is Camille Lemardeley, who managed to accumulate an impressive 1,052,000 on Day 1d just yesterday. Following closely behind is Adrien Guyon; the only other player to eclipse the one million chip mark. Guyon managed to amass 1,048,000, having ended Day 1b as the overall chip leader on Thursday.

Guido Is Sent to the Rail

Ollie Garland

Level 21 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Hand 1:

Tom Niveaud raised to 22,000 from under the gun, Brice Guido moved all in for 85,000 from the cutoff and Anthony Tramini called off the bet for his last 65,000, in the big blind. Niveaud folded.

Anthony Tramini: A♥Q♦
Brice Guido: 6♦6♠

The board ran out K♥8♣2♦K♣A♠. A rivered ace saved Tramini's tournament life and left Gudio with dust.

Hand 2:

Brice Guido moved all in from under the gun for 18,000, Damien Bastide called what would be a minimum open of 20,000, in the hijack. As did Anthony Tramini in the small blind and David Pecheur in the big blind.

The 2♥A♥9♦ flop checked through to the 8♥ on the turn. Tramini bet out 38,000 and all remaining players folded.

Brice Guido: 10♥2♠
Anthony Tramini: 8♣8♦

The river fell the 7♣ and Guido was sent to the rail.
