In the first hand of the day, Day 1a chip leader Michael Mizrachi has been eliminated. He started out on the secondary feature table with a stack of just over 40,000, and he found himself all in against Emil Mattsson from Sweden who had just a little more.
Mizrachi had in the cut off, and found himself all in before the flop against Mattsson with in middle position.
Things were looking good for Mizrachi, and he was on the verge of doubling up, till a popped up on the river.
Mizrachi had an amazing first day, but things weren't going to well yesterday on Day 2. Remko Rinkema talked to him about his playing style in the second break:
Here comes the money! Well, maybe not until the second or third level today. Just 292 players remain, but only 239 players will get paid a minimum of €8,050.
Five levels are planned for the day as the Main Event continues and with the High Roller starting tomorrow (and also being covered on Pokernews) many of the players will be looking to go big or go home (or go into the High Roller). With a record-breaking field of 1,496, there is a mouth-watering €1,261,000 for the winner but that won't be decided until Wednesday.
Before then, we've got the bubble to get through, which as mentioned, should happen in level 16 or 17.
Czech player Vojtech Ruzicka, who won the €10,000 High Roller in Deauville back in Season 9, is the current chip leader with 621,100 with Nima Ahrary (519,600) and former EPT London winner Martin Finger (502,300) the only other players over the half million mark.
Team PokerStars Pros Jan Heitmann (203,000) and Andre Akkari (55,500) are still alive while sponsored pros Dominik Panka (139,500) and Thor Hansen (102,600) also remain.
