A Long Day 2 Awaits
There have been a total of 287 entries over two starting days, 133 players currently remain. Registration remains open till the start of play today, so both numbers could still increase. Prize pool information is not yet available, but the plan is to play down to the money today, said tournament director Christian Scalzi.
Leading the way is Dutch regular Piet Bakker, he finished Day 1a with a staggering 241,000 after already being up to 300,000 at one point too. He's followed by Day 1b chip leader Marco Della Tommasina who collected 183,400 in chips.
A total of nine 60-minute levels are on the schedule for the day, but that is still subject to change. Play resumes at 2pm local time (in 2.5 hours), and PokerNews.com will be on site the entire day to bring you updates on the biggest pots, the most catastrophic meltdowns and the sickest beats.
