Day 2 Concludes Like It Began: With Richter in the Lead
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Dirk Richter has moved tables, faced dozens of opponents, watched the field shrink from 254 to 93, and all the while maintained the chip lead - a rare feat indeed.
The plan was either to make the money, or halt play after six 75-minute levels, and the bubble stubbornly refused to be reached, let alone burst. This means that 93 players will return tomorrow for Day 3, but despite their solid two days' performance will not necessarily see the financial sort of return.
In best shape, with stacks over the half million mark are Roberto Romanello (566,000), Antonio Palma (545,000) and of course Dirk Richter (593,000). Richter started the day with 100,000 more than the next stack and although he now has close competition from other huge stacks he is still in first place.
Also coming back to the felt tomorrow are EPT Vilamoura champion Toby Lewis, Helen and Josh Prager,Rob Hollink, Kevin MacPhee and Luca Pagano (on track to break his own cashing record yet again)...
