European Poker Tour -- Berlin Day 2The Field Reaches the Money on Day 2 and Stefan Huber Leads the Way with over 1 Million Chips |
|
Day 2 at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Berlin €5,000 no-limit hold’em main event has come to a close and 124 players remain from the 493 that started the day. The field played into the money late in the day so action should be quick tomorrow as well thanks to the fact that every player left in the field is guaranteed to walk away from the tournament with at least €8,000.
The chip leader at the end of the night on day 2 was Stefan Huber, who ended play with 1,087,500. Rounding out the top 10 in chips were Team PokerStars pros Johannes Strassmann (794,500) pictured right, and Jude Ainsworth (720,500). Other notables who made it to the second day of play from day 1B were Team PokerStars pros William Thorson, Julian Thew, Marcel Luske and Benjamin Kang, Joao Barbosa, Jan Collado, and Bruno Fitoussi.
