Adding the 89 participants of day one, the entire number of participants of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Dublin now measures 221. Für den zweiten Starttag haben sich 133 weitere Spieler registriert.
Famous names on the list of participants are, for example, Juha Helppi, Luca Pagano, Andreas Hoivold, William Thorson, EPT Baden winner Julian Thew, Ram Vaswani, Surinder Sunar and last year's winner Roland de Wolfe.
5:00 p.m.: The day started with an almost 30 minute delay, and Florian immediately shared a table with Ian Cox, Juha Helppi and Ram Vaswani. But he didn't have to

, since he was still counting on a raise after him. In fact someone raises after him, and Ram Vaswani coldcalls afterwards. Flo limp-raises hoping that no one believes him to have a strong hand - and that's the case: Ram Vaswani calls.
The flop comes 10

and Flo bets potsize 2.000. Ram calls.

Update:
Florian was able to build his stack but later that day he lost some chips after an all-in:
UTG raises, Florian reraises with 98s. The flop is 9 high and the player in UTG bets 7,000 into a 9,000 Pot. Florian moves all-in and gets called by QQ. He doesn't get any help on turn or river and loses the pot.
Nevertheless Flo ends the day with 18,725 chips.
Last years's winner Roland de Wolfe got knocked out in the second blind level and also Julian Thew, the winner of the EPT tournament in Baden is already out of the tournament.
Liam Flood was already down to 2,000 chips but he fought his way back and is now the second in chips with 75,750 chips.
