Time for Day 2 PKO Action
Day 1 of EPT Online 19: $530 NLHE [8-Max] played the full six and three quarter hours, and when they were done, 120 players were left on the stone bubble at the end of the day. Russian player "julik433" leads the way as the only player with more than 2.5 million chips to start Day 2, but Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov and Andre "PTFisherman23" Marques aren't far behind. They both bagged more than 2.4 million to end Day 1.
Other players rounding out the top ten going into Day 2 include Brazilian Paulo "paulinhoo00" Brombin, Canadian Marc-Andre "FrenchDawg" Ladouceur, and Mexican Dani "danipesis" Palau. Also in the mix is PokerStars Team Online member Arlie "Prince Pablo" Shaban. Shaban was a late entry , but managed to bag a stack of more than half a million for the start of Day 2.
Top Ten Stacks
| Place | Player | Country | Bounty | Chips |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | julik433 | Russian Federation | $2,688 | 2,535,172 |
| 2 | Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov | Bulgaria | $1,656 | 2,481,470 |
| 3 | Andre "PTFisherman23" Marques | Netherlands | $1,375 | 2,438,314 |
| 4 | aalexxs | Netherlands | $1,797 | 2,377,319 |
| 5 | Paulo "paulinhoo00" Brombin | Brazil | $1,266 | 2,361,554 |
| 6 | xnrobix | Hungary | $1,344 | 2,121,472 |
| 7 | Marc-Andre "FrenchDawg" Ladouceur | Canada | $1,203 | 1,926,221 |
| 8 | Bumi3 | Germany | $1,969 | 1,873,121 |
| 9 | Darwinsfish | Netherlands | $938 | 1,814,824 |
| 10 | Dani "danipesis" Palau | Mexico | $656 | 1,782,979 |
Other players to watch going into Day 2 include Andrey "drupa-lucker" Chernokoz, Robin "robinho" Ylitalo, Manig "swordfish007" Loeser, and Simon "DaDumon" Grabenschweiger. Grabenschweiger had a bit of a sun run on Day 1, getting there in a couple of spots with the worst of it to either stay alive or take down a bounty. In one example, he got ten-seven in against the ace-ten of a small stack, and spiked a house on the turn of a 
board.
With 120 players left in action, one player will go home empty handed on Day 2. By stack sizes, that's most likely to be small stack "Loks82" who comes into the second day with less than 100K in chips, but there are three other players near the bottom of the list playing fewer than 10 bigs to start the day.
They'll play it through to a winner today, and action should go quickly in this PKO format. There's also action in the Main Event today, with Toby "sadface111" Joyce leading the way into Day 3 action. As well, the final event in the 2020 PokerStars EPT Online, EPT Online 20: $1,050 NLHE [Last Chance], kicks off today, and PokerNews will be following along with all the action through the day.
