It was an overall exciting day at the European Poker Tour as the day started with 407 players and ended with only 141 players to proceed to the third day of the tour. The interesting part of the second day of the tour is that Xavier Carrugi, who consistently let his chip stack grow, started from a humble 38k chips and blinds at 500/1000. Carrugi was basically a small time player during most of the day, but he managed to get rid of his anonymity when he became the leader of the pack on to the third day.
The Players
There were many recognizable faces that joined in on day 2 of the EPT Barcelona. One of which was Annand “Victor” Ramdin which went against Sam El Sayed. Ramdin ultimately triumphed over El Sayed with his double ace and put an end to their rivalry for the day. Chris Moorman was also around and was doing well, consistently building up his chip count for the day. Previous chip leader from Day 1B Guillaume Darcourt has still managed to do well for the day and still fared well at the seventh place in chip holdings. Of course, there were also plenty of players that were eliminated during day 2 of the EPT Barcelona and these players include Jonathan Duhamel, Sepastian Ruthenberg, Jason Mercier, Nacho Barbero, Kent Lundmark, Ronny Kaiser, Jon Spinks, and Max Silver.
