Besides the EPT Main Event there's another big tournament going on in the Festsaal here in Hofburg Palace. Yesterday the €2,200 side event started and a legion of big names bought in.
Two-time UKIPT champion Nick Abou Risk from Canada is chip leader as the EPT Vienna NL €2k event goes in to Day 2. There are 76 players left from the 319 that started yesterday. The winner will get €120,600 from a €618,860 prize pool with 47 players paid. Risk won UKIPT Edinburgh in August 2010 and UKIPT Galway four months later. Other notables with big stacks include Dave Shallow (currently second, 160,400), Aussie Million champion Ami Barer (6th, 101,200), EPT Deauville runner-up Walid Bou Habib (7th, 100,200) and EPT London finalist Tamer Kamel (9th, 88,900).
The seat draw for the second day of this big side event is as followed:
At Noon local time the remaining 189 players will start their quest for the money. With 135 players getting paid here in Austria's capital, just 54 unlucky ones will depart without extra money in their pockets.
The absolute short stack is Ernst Stoller, who has about 6.5 big blinds with his 19,400-chip stack. Kitty Kuo is also on the short stack after suffering a big bad beat late on day 2.
And then there are the big stacks, the players who won't be eying the money bubble per se, but will be more focussed on gathering even more chips to make a really deep run. A prime example of someone in this group would be chip leader Sebastian Trisch, who amassed 568,000 in chips yesterday. He took center stage playing his hands at the feature table.
The organization didn't necessarily picked their table to broadcast Trisch's skills though, as the player in seat nine got all the attention. Viktor "Isildur1" Blom was seated at the table and the EPT live stream viewers loved it. Blom, who we had a brief talk with in the second break, ended the day with 93,400 in chips.
Blom's Full Tilt Poker colleague Gus Hansen did much better than that. With 221,000 in chips he has plenty of chips to work with today. Yesterday, he more than once proved he still had it, and with 'it' we mean play creative holdings to crush big hands.
The Festsaal of the Hofburg Palace here in Vienna will again fill with poker players from all over the world at 12:00 Noon local time. In the meantime, check out Kristy Arnett's talk with Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree:
