PokerStars.net EPT Snowfest: Team PokerStrategy.com eliminated on Day 2
Day 2 was the end of the road for Team PokerStrategy.com as Allanon, Thorsten77, and Vovoleo failed to advance into Day 3. Chip leader Philip Meulyzer has riches on his mind, but he must be able to maintain the chip lead for a few more days.

Only 82 players are left as the PokerStars.net EPT Snowfest snowballs into Day 3. Unfortunately, Team PokerStrategy.com will not be a part of the 82 that will play on Day 3.
vovoleo was the first to go being eliminated just before dinner break. He was sitting with 11BB when he went all in with 
. Much to the chagrin of Vovoleo, the SB made the call and flipped over aces. The flop came 
and the 
turn gave Vovoleo an additional flush draw, but a blank river eliminated Vovoleo from tournament.
No luck for Allanon and Thorsten77
Not too long after, team members allanon and thorsten77 were both eliminated. Allanon made his final stance with A-J, but only to lose the race to his opponent's pocket 7-7.
Moments later, Thorsten77 faced a raise from the CO and he decided to make his move with K-Q. His all-in bet was called by the initial raiser who flipped over A-J. Thorsten77 had a possible flush draw plus pair outs, but failed to make the winning hand.
