More and more players are signing up. The field is already bigger than yesterdays field, and the line in front of the sign up desk is still pretty long. Players like Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Jan Bendik have taken their seats by now, but Dany Parlafes for example is still standing on the rail, not even attempting to sign up just yet.
Bulgarian bracelet winner Simeon Naydenov tried his luck yesterday, but busted before the end of the day. He's back at it again, starting out with a new 30,000 stack.
Erich Kollman has been a little absent from the international poker scene for as far as we know, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been playing. Besides a cash in the Czech republic last month, he cashes 15 times in a row in Austrian tournaments.
Kollman has $1.7 million in cashes and ranks third on the Austrian all time money list. Just Josef Klinger and Thomas Muehloecker (played yesterday) rank higher than him.
So far we've recognized Jamila von Perger and Andrey Shatilov.
Jamila had one of the biggest score of her career earlier this festival, when she finished third in the €340 No Limit Hold'em WPT Warm Up event for €25,750 here.
Andrey Stahitlov is the number 16 on the Russian all time money list. He made deep runs in big tournaments in Barcelona, Monte Carlo and in the Bahamas and collected over $1.6 million in cashes over the last few years.
