Grospellier had nothing go right on Day 2, seeing his big chip lead dwindle throughout the day with Blasko collecting most of them. On his final hand ElkY pushed all in for 49,300 with A,K only to be called by the invincible Blasko with suited J,7 which won the hand regardless.
Day 1A had 92 players registered with 59 moving on, with 78 from Day 1B moving on bringing the total to 137 advancing to Day 2 on Friday.
Once again WPT Venice champion Alessio Isaia is in the running with chips, sitting in third. Other notables advancing to Day 3 include Bodo Sbrzesny, Roberto Romanello, and a short stacked Forian Langmann.
Notables to bust on Day 2 included Grospellier, Kara Scott, Pascal LeFrancois, Andy Frankenberger, Tony G , Max Pescadori, and Per Linde.
