Day 2 Action

A tough field filled with notable players turned out for the event but several could not find their way to Day 2, including Benny Glaser, Harry Lodge, Chino Rheem, Julien Martini, Keith Lehr, Jason Wheeler, Gianluca Speranza, Ryan Riess and PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand.

Fellow PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg was active throughout the day and he found his way into the money, but he couldn’t survive to see Day 2. Spragg has now cashed at five straight major PokerStars events, including every EPT dating back to the most recent trip to Monte Carlo.

Andrew Chen got off to a hot start on Monday when he found a full double with pocket kings against the Big Slick of Adrian State. Chen previously won the NAPT Bounty Shootout at the 2011 PCA, as well as a $2,150 event at EPT Sanremo and the $10,300 High Roller at EPT London, both in 2014. He finished with 200,000 and he will return on Tuesday for a shot at his first big score since 2018.

Konnikova held strong throughout the day, but her big move came in the late levels when she cracked Daniel De Sousa Custodio's pocket queens for a big double when her suited eight-seven made a flush on the river. She won this tournament in 2018, and she will return on Tuesday with a real chance to do it again.

Among the other players returning for Day 2 are Martin Johnstone, Sebastian Toro, Jose Severino, Jonathan Little, Andras Nemeth, Shawn Buchanan, and Iliodoros Kamatakis.
