Day 2 started swiftly with 262 players and moved swiftly down to 73 players in only six levels. Swedish professional Michael Tureniec surged to the chip lead closing with 640,000 as play ended Wednesday at the SAS Radisson Hotel in Copenhagen.
Tureniec, a former runner-up at EPT London, may have a sizable chip lead, but there are several notables in the running. Per Linde is closest to Tureniec, with 514,600, Joel Nordqvist has 419,000, Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly has 416,000, Daniel Pettersen has 373,000 and Thomas Schaeffer finished with 365,800.
Some notables still in the hunt include Johnny Lodden (193,700), Juha Helppi (159,000), Michael Aron (205,400) and Day 1 chip leader Domantas Klimciauskas (212,200).
Notables not so fortunate to make it through Day 2 were the likes of Annette Obrestad, Peter Eastgate, Kevin Stani, Jake Cody, Allan Baekke and Xuan Liu, along with the Team PokerStars Pros Arnaud Mattern, Ville Wahlbeck, John Duthie and Team Online Pro Anders Berg.
Only 64 will make the money when the bubble bursts Thursday and they play down to 24 players.
A total of 449 players paid the DKK 37,250 to buy into EPT Copenhagen, creating a prize pool of DKK 15,086,400 (€2,023,496). Of that field, 64 players will finish in the money, with a min-cash paying DKK 55,000 (€7,377).
The winner will take away a first prize of DKK 3,700,000 (€496,271) on Saturday, with the runner-up spot paying DKK 2,450,000 (€328,612).
