EPT: Day 2 in Campione
Campione, Italy is known for being one of the most beautiful settings in Europe but on Tuesday the European Poker Tour stop there looked more like poker’s version of the killing fields. The day began with 325 players all vying for the €640,000 ($852,838 US) first place prize but through eight levels of play only 99 were left standing.
Sitting atop the chip counts after a hectic Day 2 is Balazs Botond. The Hungarian bagged up 646,000 chips at the end of the day and now finds himself well ahead of the rest of the field. Ronny Kaiser, Botond’s closest competitor, finished with 506,500.
There are some familiar faces near the top of the leaderboard. None more familiar than former EPT champion David Vamplew. The former EPT London winner sits fourth with 412,900 while Olivier Busquet’s stack of 353,100 puts him in seventh overall. Liv Boeree sits just outside the top 10 with 300,900.
The 226 players that busted included Melanie Weisner, Patrik Antonius, Alex Kravchenko, Steve O’Dwyer, Faraz Jaka, Chris Moorman and David Peters. Former MMA fighter Heath Herring also saw his tournament end on Day 2.
Day 3 action resumes at noon local time and will play another eight levels. The money bubble should burst early in Day 3 with 88 players cashing.
