The Main Event' player-field was narrowed down to only 63 players during Day 2 and we're now, most probably, only a day away from the final table where some nice cash prizes are up for grabs - more about that further down. Now, the one who will bring the largest stack (460,200) to Day 3, which starts in few hours, is Nikolas Liakos from Sweden, followed by Lari Sihvo, from Finland, with just about 400,000 chips.
Oscar Lima, the EPT newcomer and Day 2 chip leader, did not impressed as much as he did during Day 1b. However, he has 124,400 left (about average) and still a good chance of taking home the biggest tournament cash in his career.
