After 10 blind levels of 45 minutes each, a total of 54 players bagged chips into Friday's Day 2 to bring the Day 2 field up to 90 players with many more to come.

Slovakia's Jozef Komorny bagged the biggest stack of the day of 181,800 in chips closely followed by Nemanja Milovanovic, Thomas DeRooij, Adi Rajkovic, and Andrej Cintula.
