A sudden rush of late arrivals signing up yestreday resulted in a field of 555 in the main event a season record for the European Poker Tour. Day 2's 192 survivors continued the battle for the top prize of €708,400.
Team Bodog's Magnus Petersson run for EPT glory was cutt short late in the day today despite looking very dangerous heading into today’s action. He wound up falling short of the next round and was eliminated in 50th position cashing for €6,380.
Young poker phenom freak Annette Obrestad experienced what must have been a strange and foreign feeling after being knocked out in the early stages of a big poker tournament. She was sent to the rail midway through the first day, along with other notables such as Dario Minieri and Luca Pagano.
The action has now finished for today with only 32 players remaining. Coming into tomorrow the current leader is Slovak Poker Federation president Dag Palovic, with 357,500. Spaniard Luiz Sevilla is also coming into Day 3 in a strong position with 307,000 and Adrian Koy, the chip leader after Day 1A, is sitting around 270,000.
