All Set For Day 2 of the 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €25,750 High Roller
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €25,750 High Roller is already a record breaker, and registration remains open until the start of Day 2, at 12:30 p.m. local time today.
The tournament has already seen 220 entries, beating the record set last year when the UK's Charlie Carrel beat a field of 215. So far, this year's field includes 173 unique players, 47 of whom have taken advantage of the optional single re-entry.
After 10 levels of play Wednesday, EPT12 Malta champion Niall Farrell took the chip lead among 95 survivors.
He bagged up 311,200, just a few days removed from finishing runner-up in the €1,100 FPS Main Event for €127,900.
Enrico Coppola is the only other player who will start Day 2 with over 300,000 in chips, but Saar Wilf (288,000), Dong Zhao (278,900), David Dayan (272,900), Dan Smith (272,500) and Ivan Luca (271,300) are all within striking distance
There are also four Team PokerStars Pros still in it, including Daniel Negreanu (136,700), Liv Boeree (71,400), Jason Mercier (54,900), and Andre Akkari (170,000).
Record breaking numbers mean there will be big money on the line as the field plays through 11 more levels today. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be here throughout, so get that F5 finger ready, and enjoy Day 2 of the 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €25,750 High Roller coming right at you.
Confirmed Day 2 Entries
All of them played on Day 1 and busted, have already bought back in and will be at the tables shortly. This list is not complete yet, as the Hyper Satellite generated four tickets and the registration is not closed yet.

Schemion First Casualty
Niveau 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Ole Schemion was spotted walking out of the tournament area and he won't be making a miracle comeback this time. Starting the day with just 10 big blinds, he open-shoved the small blind and "David (Yan) woke up with tens." Asked what he had, Schemion just smiled and said "not much."

Mercier Flushed Out
Niveau 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier is hitting the showers early.
He ran pocket jacks into Alexandros Kolonias' 
preflop, with Kolonias flushing Mercier's €25,750 High Roller dreams down the toilet.
Kolonias now has a threatening stack as a result and the newly registered Daniel Cates has taken the seat vacated by Mercier.

Spin & Go
Niveau 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Anthony Spinella is off to a hot start, picking on table boss David Dayan in just the first few hands.
Spinella called a 12,000-chip bet from Dayan in position on an 
flop, then another 13,000 on the 
turn.
But when Dayan led for 20,000 on the 
four-flushing river, Spinella sprung into action, raising to 66,000. Dayan folded.
