Action of the Day
PokerStars Ambassador Alejandro Lococo spent most of the day on top of the leaderboard, right where he started the day as the overall chip leader. With less than half an hour to play, though, he suffered a brutal cooler when he ran into the quad kings of Leonardo Romeo.
Chip leader Guivarch accumulated much of his chips when he made a big call with two pair to pick off a valiant river three-bet bluff attempt by Kyriakos Papadopoulos late in the day. He turned a pair into a bluff against a capped range, but Guivarch figured it out for the win.
Day 1d's chip leader didn't fare so well on Day 2 as Antoine Labat failed to find a bag. He couldn't get anything going today after losing a flip early in the action.
Among those who did find bags were Tobias Peters (1,315,000), Fedor Holz (1,090,000), and Georgios Kostakis (935,000).
Day 3 picks back up tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. local time going into blinds of 25,000/50,000/50,000 at Level 26.
PokerNews will provide coverage through the end of this event, so check back in tomorrow to see all of the Day 3 action.
