PokerStars EPT Polish Open from Hyatt Regency in Warsaw, Poland - Day 2 Summary
While 130 players entered the Hyatt Regency for Day 2 play of the PokerStars EPT Polish Open, just 26 will return tomorrow, Friday, where they will play down to the final table. Andy Black's day was a prime example of the swings of NLHE tournaments. From average stack, to big stack, to short stack, all before the Irishman finished the day just below the chip average. Trond Eidsvig was able to double up late and survive, after his queens held against pocket tens. Eidsvig and Thierry van der Berg each tied the EPT season record with four cashes, but Thierry was one of the many casualties after the bubble burst and his Polish Open is over. Claus Nielsen was responsible for sending Thierry to the rail. Nielsen's jacks outflopped Thierry's queens after a jack high flop to pad his stack and inch towards the chip lead. Nielsen will enter Day 3 with a stack of 345K, trailing only Juan Lapido Maceiras of Spain and his 388,000 chips. Here's a look at the 26 survivors: Juan Lapido Maceiras 388000 Claus Nielsen 345500 Mathias Viberg 284000 Ricardo Sousa 239000 Kenneth Hicks Jr. 225000 Daniel Woolson 188500 Dan Pedersen 178000 Henrik Gwinner 165000 Willian Johnson 158000 Christian Öman 147500 Piergiorgio D'ancona 138000 Antonio Battisti 105500 Jari-Pekka Juhola 95000 Mehdi Ouakhir 95000 Michael Schulze 95000 Sebastian Ruthenberg 93500 Niclas Svensson 89500 Andy Black 85000 Trond Erik Eidsvig 79500 Christoffer Sonesson 76000 Craig Hopkins 69000 Seppo Parkkinen 64500 Jean Claude Perrot 62500 Janusz Petlic 50000 Andreas Hagen 48000 Raul Paez Corral 28000 Players are guaranteed to leave the Hyatt Regency with no less than 28,720 PLN(€8,130, or $12,667).
