Day 2 of the MONSTER STACK began with just 36 players remaining from the initial 1,797 entry field, with Greece's Ioannis Konstas leading the pack when play resumed. The nine finalists were quickly established after the likes of Alexios Zervos (12th - $8,120), Aditya Agarwal (14th - $7,127) and Stoyan Obreshkov (21st - $6,255) hit the rail before final table play began.

Konstas became the first final table casualty despite starting the day with the biggest stack. He saw his bankroll boosted by a further $17,332. Two Brazilian Players, Rafael "OpalaPreto" Monteiro and Rodrigo "sauvage" Valente departed in eighth and seventh place respectively before a pair of Norwegian players were ousted from the tournament. Simon Mattsson collected a payday of $41,078 while Yngve Steen went one better and was awarded the fifth place prize of $54,778.

The elimination of Anton "Kingtale" Wigg set up the final three, with Lauck and Yuri Dzivielevski looking to add to their bracelet collection while Ilya Anatski was seeking their first. Dzivielevski became the third Brazilian to leave the final table which set up the heads-up battle between the two remaining players.

When the dust settled, Lauck took down the event to win Bracelet No. 2 and claimed the $173,224 up top. The victory comes three years after he was awarded his maiden bracelet, where he won Event #56: $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty at the 2019 WSOP.

Two Dutch players sit on top of the chip counts. Mark Waal and Timo de Smet were the only players to finish with more that 250,000,000 chips but as we all know from the 2022 EPT Barcelona Main Event, it only takes is a chip and chair for the tides to turn.
