It’s Friday, and it’s time for Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event.
All and all, the tournament attracted 997 entries. The €1,000,000 was surpassed by a good margin, seeing as the final prize pool reads €1,253,002. All 147 players in Day 2 are guaranteed €3,000; the top prize is €210,000 for the winner.
The chip leader going into Day 2 is Finland’s Rasmus Lundström with 1,300,000. The list of prominent players still in the field is so ridiculously long; seeing as this poker.pro live reporter will cover every nook and cranny of the action from Day 2 until it wraps up. The plan is to play down to 24 players; tournament director Teresa Nousainen has predicted the tournament to wrap up sometime around 21:00 tonight.
The dealers are now preparing the decks for the first hand, after a ring ceremony has been held for the reigning champion, Jenny Westerlund. The tournament is just about to kick off.
