Day 2 €2,200 Side Event Table Draw
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).
