The time for re-entries is over. The time for running up from starting stack is done. Today sees at least 268 players return for Day 2 of the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo©Casino EPT Main Event. PokerNews will be providing live coverage, with the plan for the day either to play five levels or until the tournament is one table away from the money.

Today also sees the introduction of the shot clock into the Main Event, with each player given 30-seconds to make their decision. They also receive four 30-second time banks to use. Players will receive two more at the start of each day, in addition to the time banks carried over at the end of each day.

The four-card specialists will also be out in force today, with the start of the €10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller. Last time it was held it was Frenchman Sylvain Loosli who took home €236,400 in Barcelona last year after besting a field of 111. The shot clock will also be in action in this tournament.

PokerNews will bring you recaps, features and updates from all of the above throughout the day as our continued coverage of the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo©Casino EPT rolls on.
