The payout information was announced shortly after the start of play today. The event attracted a total of 7,138 runners which created a prize pool of €6,852,480. All players were guaranteed a minimum cash of €1,800. However, all eyes will be on the first place prize of €625,000 that the eventual champion will receive.
The Day's Action
Some 1,066 players returned for Day 2 and the bust-outs came fast with many players entering the day on short stacks. Almost half of the field was gone by the first break of the day as the field thinned out.
As the day progressed, some chip leaders emerged from the pack. Alejandro Lococo used his large stack to bully the table as his aggressive style paid dividends.
However, it was restraint rather than aggression that Lococo will remember from the day. He was involved in a massive hand pre-flop in which he correctly folded queens against the aces of Kacper Pyzara.
Raoul Kanme showed off a sick bluff in which he five-bet shoved nine-seven suited against Santiago Nadal and got him to lay it down despite having very little fold equity.
Several notable players have navigated their way through the massive field to find a bag for Day 3. Among them are PokerStars Team Pros Julien Brecard and Parker Talbot, popular American players Ren Lin and Martin Zamani, EPT Champion Robin Ylitalo, and WSOP bracelet winner Alexandre Reard.
Day 3 kicks off at 11 a.m. local time on August 31. Play will resume in Level 26 with blinds at 25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 big blind ante. Levels will be 60 minutes long.

Day 2 has ended with 136 players remaining.
Stay tuned for chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
Livello 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
David McConachie opened to 85,000 first to act and Dario Pieruzzini shoved for his last 455,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to McConachie, who quickly put a chip into the middle to indicate a call.
Dario Pieruzzini: A♥K♥
David McConachie: 10♦10♣
The 7♥9♠5♠ flop looked good for McConachie, but the K♦ turn vaulted Pieruzzini into the lead with a pair of kings.
The A♦ river needlessly improved Pieruzzini to two pair and he doubled his stack just before bagging and tagging.

Erik Marasco and Kacper Pyzara built a pot of around 500,000 as they went heads-up to the 10♥9♣8♥ flop. Pyzara then bet 200,000 from the small blind.
Marasco moved all in for around 2,200,000 from early position, sending Pyzara deep into the tank. Pyzara spent several minutes covering his mouth with his scarf before he open-folded two queens. Marasco showed him jack-ten for just a pair of tens as Pyzara let out a loud sigh while Marasco took the pot.
At the same table, PokerStars Team Pro Julien Brecard has built up a stack of 2,800,000.

Serafim Kovalevskiy opened to 80,000 in middle position and Mathias Siljander three-bet jammed a stack of around 550,000 from the cutoff before Cesar Perez four-bet in the big blind to get things heads-up.
Mathias Siljander: K♣J♦
Cesar Perez: 10♦10♥
The flop of 10♠3♣7♦ gave Perez a virtual lock on things with a set and the runout of 4♥8♠ confirmed Siljander's elimination toward the end of the night.

After a player in early position opened, Michel Karim three-bet to 260,000 from middle position. Next to act, Alejandro Lococo cold four-bet to 475,000, and Karim put in the call.
On the 9♠6♣5♣ flop, Karim checked to Lococo who jammed for 505,000 effective and Karim snapped it off.
Michel Karim: 10♠10♦
Alejandro Lococo: Q♠Q♣
Lococo was in great shape to score a knockout and it stayed that way on the 8♥3♥ runout as Lococo has continued to build a large stack and get in the action.

Johannes Dekker raised to 80,000 on the button before Archibald Seaton three-bet to 290,000 in the big blind. Dekker moved all in for 1,050,000 and Seaton snap-called.
Johannes Dekker: 7♣7♠
Archibald Seaton: J♦J♣
The board came Q♣6♦2♣10♥ through the turn as Dekker was already standing up from his seat to make his exit, but he spiked the two-outer on the 7♦ river to make a set and double up.
