In one hour from now at 16:00 local time, the players will be taking their seats in the Casino Barcelona for Day 2 of the €720+80 Main Event. The action will resume at level 10 with blinds at 1,200-2,400 and a running ante of 400 and thus far, a combined field of 418 entries has been established throughout the two starting days.
However, all players that didn’t advance to day 2 can still re-enter before the first card is dealt. Accordingly, the payout structure will be determined and announced within the first two levels of play. The tentative schedule for today is another 10 one-hour levels and history has shown that the money spots are typically almost reached but remain in eyesight when the time of bagging and tagging has come.
Leading the field of the 224 survivors is Joao “Jay” Santos with 564,000 chips followed by Day 1a top dog Sviatoslav Shturyn (551,000). Both have established a little gap over other notables such as Adan Soler Fernandez (484,000), Jorge Galino Lopez (474,900), Alain Roy (431,400), Josep Maria Galindo Linzp (344,200), Alvar Margets 341,400), Jens Kerper (340,700), Isabel Baltazar (323,000) and Pawel Brzeski (300,800).
Plenty of other notables and also online and live qualifiers remain. Make sure to check the live updates to find out who will be one step closer to cashing in the Main Event. As of 20:00 local time, there is also a €300+30 Freezeout with 30,000 chips and levels of 30 minutes. This tournament will be played over two days and concludes on Saturday.
