Only 59 of 862 players remain after two days (well, four days if you include the starting days) of intensive poker at the PartyPoker World Poker Tour Montreal Main Event.

Although a lot of big names fell during Day 2, including Phil Laak, Matt Salsberg, Gavin Smith and Antonio Esfandiari, there are still quite a few familiar faces left in the mix of players who still have the chance of going all the way to the title and the top prize of half a million dollars!

The first two starting days and day 2 of the EPT Madrid Main Event have already been played. 104 out of 686 players will return to play day 3 in a few hours. The remaining field of players includes many PokerStars sponsored players. Victor Ramdin, Alex Gomes and Daniel Weinman - just to mention 3 who can be found in the top of the field.

Leading the tournament is Ole Kristian Nergard from Norway, closely followed by Kristoffer Thorsson (not William Thorson's brother). Nergard missed out on the Main Event last year by a matter of hours, not turning 18 until after the Main Event had begun. It be very interesting to follow him and Thorsson during day 3 of the tournament. 

We will return with an update as soon as Day 3 is over.
