It was a long and cold wait for the players this morning when the casino doors stayed shut until 12.20 CET time. After over 600 players went in the doors one by one, it took a while before the tournament started well late of the original starting time of 12. Italian style..

RedKings has 2 of their star players still in, with Toni Ojala starting the day with 34k and Ramzi Jelassi with 76k. Toni is on table 61 together with Swedens Peter Hedlund and Irelands Jonathan Weekes. Half of the table are italians so lets hope Toni gets some good action to double up.

Ramzi is playing on table 18 with swedish Anton Wigg and russian Evgeniy Zaytsev, both with over 100k stacks. Unfotunately no italians on the table yet. Lets see if Ramzi will take out his school book today. He has an exam on tuesday you know..

Our german guest player Severin Schneider is playing good and looked very relaxed at the hotel breakfast. Apparently day 2 doesnt make him nervous, but I am sure the closer to the money he gets, the more nervous he will be. Good Game to him as well.
