Day 2 Action
The action started thick and fast with notables such as Tobias "Senkel92" Leknes, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard and PokerStars Team Pro Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas all busting early doors.
Day 1 Chip Leader Daniel "judgedredd13" Charlton couldn't continue his Day 1 form and busted before the money in 884th place.
As the bubble loomed, play slowed down and when forced all-in on his big blind, "bianchettibh" was the final player to leave empty-handed as he was bested by the suited ace-eight of "docsws1122", much to the merriment of the remaining 655 players that all found themselves in the money.
Some notable names ran deep including Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden (195th - $4,435), PokerStars Ambassador Sam "SamSquid" Grafton (186th - $4,435) and Antoine "A.Saout" Saout (165th - $4,435).
Blinds will resume at 80,000/160,000 with a 20,000 ante and an average stack of 36 big blinds. Be sure to tune in with PokerNews as will be back again on November 8 at 17:30 GMT to follow the action as they play down to the Final Table.
