The main event of World Poker Tour Baden is down to 44 players after 2 days of play. German poker pro Bodo Sbrzesny, who finished third in WPT Prague a few months ago, leads the remaining squad of players into Day 3 with 403,000 chips (20k more than his fellow countryman Vishal Pundjabi).

Another German with plenty of chips is Marvin Rettenmaier (248,500 - ranked 10). Besides Rettenmaier, the biggest names left in the tournament are Kara Scott, Paul Berende and Martin Stazsko.

Day 3 starts at 14:00 (CET) with the blinds 1,200-2,400, 400 ante, and the final table will be played on Sunday. 27 of the remaining players will get a piece of the prize pool (minimum cash of $8,634 and the winner will take home $271,258).

Check back on Monday for a recap of how the final table played out.

The two starting days of WPT Amneville have already been played and soon it's time for Day 2 to start. 242 players of 541 have survived so far. 54 of these players will return home with at least €7,200, which is approximately double the buy-in - but probably nothing any of the players are aiming for as the winner of the tournament gets €433,000 (+ entry to WPT Championship at Bellagio, the runner-up will get €229,000 (+ entry to WPT Championship at Bellagio) and the one ends up in third place will walk away with €161,000.

PartyPoker has 60 players at the event including Team PartyPoker pros Dragan Galic and Bodo Sbrzesny. If one of the 10 internet qualifiers wins the tournament, he/she will get another $1 million from PartyPoker. Would be pretty amazing if that happened!
