Time to Get Paid! Day 2 of EAPT UK Main Event is Here
We have reached the business end of the inaugural Eurasian Poker Tour £560 UK Main Event with the start of Day 2 at Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club, Nottingham
The 132 players who made the money the past two days will be joined by the 14 online entrants, as well as the players who advanced in the turbo flight earlier today.
The current chip leader is Ryan Cooper with 3,710,000 chips. He recently enjoyed his first-ever recorded five-figure score for £16,872. He will be looking to better that, but there is a plethora of talent looking to hunt him down.
Francis Obadun sits in second place and has already been involved in several crazy hands in this tournament. On Day 1a Obadun covered four other players in a preflop 340 big-blind pot. Obadun lost out to Richard Shepherd whose pocket sixes made a seven-high straight.
Day 1c chip leader Foad Sattarzadeh occupies third position, but there are plenty of big names still in the hunt including Will Kassouf, Chris Da-Silva, Albert Sapiano and Simon Higgins.
