The March to the Final Table Begins on Day 2 of the €100,000 Super High Roller

Welcome back to Day 2 of the 2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €100,000 Super High Roller. There are 37 players remaining out of the initial 59 entries, but that number could increase given that players can still register until the start of play today. Anyone who enters today would still have over 40 big blinds, so it seems likely that at least a couple of players will chose to take another shot at this huge event.

Philipp Gruissem, the High Roller specialist, currently leads the tournament with 1,038,000 ahead of Ping Sang Chan (938,000) and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu (915,000). The field was made up of some of the best players in the world so it would be unfair (and almost impossible) to exclude anyone in particular from having a shot at the title.

When registration closes at midday we should be able to get the full prize pool for this massive event and what seven-figure sum the winner will be taking home. The plan for today is to play down to the final table of eight players, however long that may take.

The tournament is scheduled to start at 12 p.m., so stayed tuned for all the latest news and updates from this tournament. Pokerstars.tv will also be showing live streaming from the start of play, so be sure to tune in to watch the action from the feature table.
