Noch vor den bezahlten 135 Plätzen ging der zweite Tag beim € 5.300 Main Event der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) zu Ende. Insgesamt sind es 910 Teilnehmer geworden, was neuer österreichischer Rekord ist. Es liegen € 4.550.000 im Pot, auf den Sieger warten € 816.000. Sebastian Trisch führt das Feld in Tag 3.
488 Spieler hatten die beiden Starttage erfolgreich hinter sich gebracht. Fünf Satellite Gewinner kamen noch dazu und zwei kauften sich direkt ein. Einer davon war Robert Zipf, der einen grandiosen Start hinlegte und bald unter den Chipleader zu finden war.
Während sich einige Shortstacks wie Marius Pospiech, Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer, Michael Eiler und Stefan Jedlicka bald verabschieden mussten, erwischten andere einen sehr guten Tag. Ole Schemion musste sich mit Jacks gegen 
verabschieden, seine Chips gingen aber an Lasell King, der damit auch unter den Big Stacks zu finden war. Torsten Pischl mischte ebenso ganz vorne mit wie Artur Koren und Marko Neumann. Im Endspurt allerdings überholte einer allerdings alle noch – Sebastian Trisch. Er terrorisierte seinen Tisch, verabschiedete unter anderem auch Shortstack Milan Joksic mit Pocket Deuces vs. 
und schloss den Tag letztlich bei 568.500, was ihm die Führung einbrachte.
Generell war die Performance der deutschsprachigen Spieler eine sehr gute, denn die Top 10 des Chipcounts werden von den Deutschen dominiert. Auf internationaler Seite wurde ein bisschen aufgeräumt, aber auch hier sind noch viele Big Names im Feld zu finden. Die beiden Full Tilt Pros Gus Hansen und Viktor Blom sind ebenso noch mit dabei wie die Team PokerStars Pros Johnny Lodden, Marcel Luske, Bertrand „ElkY“ Grospellier und Marc-Andre Ladouceur. Ebenfalls noch im Rennen sind unter anderem Michael Tureniec, Fabrice Soulier, Stephen Chidwick, Sam Trickett und Ruben Visser.
Die 176 verbliebenen Spieler starten morgen um 12 Uhr in den dritten Tag und kämpfen um 135 bezahlte Plätze. Der Min-Cash bringt € 8.700 ein und noch viele deutschsprachige Spieler haben die Chance, hier mitzumischen.
