Day 2 Recap

With seven levels played, and late registration open for five of them, there was always going to be action early. And so it proved with the likes of two-time bracelet-winner Martin Kabrhel and former champion Jack Sinclair eliminated early, with neither adding to their tally in this year's Main Event.

As the levels drew on, big stacks began to emerge such as Bradley and Dario Quattrucci and by the time late registration closed, a new record of 688 had been set, confirming it as the largest WSOP Europe Main Event in history and generating a prize pool of €6,536,000.
