Late registration has now closed and the total number of entries in the Main Event is 566, generating a prize pool of €268,850. The prize breakdown is being worked on now and the first prize amount will be revealed soon.
There were additional 91 entries today, bringing the number of players who have participated in day 2 up to 307, but 67 of them have busted, leaving 240 players left with dreams of making the final table.
For some the tournament is now over, such as Siarhei Narohzny, winner of last night’s Open Face Chinese event. Her had bagged a below average stack for Day. He’s a mixed games specialist and will likely have his sights set on the 2-7 Triple Draw, which starts at 6.30pm.
Unibet Poker ambassador Dara O’Kearney started the day short stacked and ended it within a lap of the table, as one of the first players of the day to hit the rail. However, late registration was still open and he reloaded his gun and fired another bullet. His Chip Race podcast co-presenter David Lappin is still in.
High Roller winner Lewis Aikman has also hit the rail, just after late registration has closed, however his friend Stephen McCabe, whom he got heads up with still has chips.
Coolbet streamer Ylva Thorsrud was another casualty of the first two levels, as was Belgian player Wouter Schuurbiers. Local mixed games fanatic Antoine Degiorgio has made four final tables this week, but won’t be getting there in this one, as he also now an ex-participant of the Main Event.
