There are now 77 remaining players of 420 in the WSOP Europe Main Event. Michael Mizrachi held a significant lead over his next closest competitor, Day 1b chip leader Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier when Day 2 started. "The Grinder" played loose-aggressive game that took him, and his opponents, for a wild rollercoaster ride. Eventually he was eliminated in in Level 11 where he joined Vanessa Rousso, Joe Hachem, Phil Ivey, Antonio Esfandiari and many other big names on the rail.
"ElkY" had a totally different tactic than Mizrachi. He played a patient game and slowly accumulated chips throughout the day. Today he will sit down at the poker tables (326,700 chips - 10th place) together with other notable Day 2 survivors such Phil Hellmuth, former November Niner Joseph Cheong, Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier and the defending champion Elio Fox.
Day 3 starts in a few hours and it will definitely be a very thrilling day of poker. We'll be back with another update tomorrow morning, so stay tuned!
