Halloo, Day 2
Halloo, as they say in Estonia, and welcome back to the vertiginous 6th floor tournament area of the Swissotel Tallinn where things are about to get serious.
After another nine hours of Day 1 play yesterday, Perica Bukara emerged as overall chip leader on 210,600. 120 players survived Day 1b, and added to the 90 who made it through Day 1a a total of 210 players remain of the 420 who started.
Among the familiar names populating the field are Team PokerStars Pros Luca Pagano, Arnaud Mattern, Vadim Markushevski and Ivan Demidov. The Day 2 runners are filtering in from breakfast now, and play should resume very shortly. Please stand by.
