Diamond Poker Series had set out a huge guarantee of €2,000,000 for the PLO Grand Slam €10,300 Championship, double that of last edition's event. The 136 entries made on Day 1 yesterday already surpassed the total entries of the previous edition but, with two more levels of late registration, the field will need to grow by about 50 percent to prevent an overlay for the organization.
Among the 51 players returning to Arena Casino Tirana today looking to profit from the possible added money to the prize pool is Tom Vogelsang. The Dutch high roller was victorious in the €5,200 PLO Opener earlier this series and bagged 1,579,000 on Day 1 of the Championship. With nearly eight starting stacks he is second in chips, looking to go two for two.
The first objective for Vogelsang is to close the gap to chipleader Andreas Zampas, who amassed 2,388,000 yesterday, good for 239 big blinds when play resumes at 4 p.m. today. Germany's Leon Freiholz completes the top three with 1,514,000, while Dario Alioto, Amir Mozaffarian, and Ronald Keijzer also battled their way to a top ten spot.

Diamond Poker Series Ambassador and bracelet winner Max Kruse will sit down with 358,000 today, while Lautaro Guerra (357,000) and "Phil Ejri" (545,000) are looking to make back-to-back final tables in the PLO Grand Slam Championship. Youness Barakat brings a bag with 633,000 chips to Day 2, aiming to improve on his fourth-place finish in the Opener. Runner-up in that event Sean Rafael also made it through Day 1 but is one of the shortest stacks with 128,000.
Day 2 will kick off with blinds at 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante. The field will have three levels of 60 minutes to reach the guarantee as the late registration will close at the start of Level 13: 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante. Unlimited reentries are permitted throughout those two levels to encourage maximum action and drive up the prize pool. Day 2 will play down to at least the final 16 players, although it may be decided to play longer than that depending on when that point is reached.
PokerNews will be on the floor to keep track of all the action, so stay tuned to find out if the PLO Grand Slam Championship will reach its massive guarantee.
Nivel: 10
Ciegas: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
The players have opened their bags and the cards are in the air for Day 2 of the €10,300 PLO Championship.

On a completed board of 2♠K♥8♦J♦5♦, Spyridon Valakos checked out of the small blind to "Alakazam" in the big blind. "Alakazam" fired a pot-sized bet of 120,000, which Valakos eventually called with visible reluctance.
"Alakazam" turned over 7♠6♦5♠4♦ for a low flush, which was enough to be awarded the pot.

Three-way on a 5♦A♣8♠ flop, Giora Tsimmerman checked from the big blind to "eee" under the gun. "eee" made a bet of 40,000 in a pot of 90,000, being called by Espen Myrmo in the next seat over.
Tsimmerman then raised to 250,000, after which "eee" jammed all in for roughly 550,000. Myrmo got out of the way before Tsimmerman made a quick call with the covering stack.
"eee": A♠Q♦J♠5♣
Giora Tsimmerman: A♥Q♠8♣3♥
Both players had flopped two pair, but Tsimmerman had the higher one. The turn and river bricked out, leaving Tsimmerman to scoop up the gigantic pot and eliminate "eee".

The action was picked up on a flop of A♦K♠3♠. Alexan Kanjo checked from the big blind to chipleader Andreas Zampas under the gun, who fired a bet of 60,000.
Michail Karapanos was also in the pot and called on the button before Kanjo also put in a call. The 5♦ turn checked trough to the 8♦ river, where it checked to Karapanos once again.
He cut out a bet of 175,000 and placed it in the middle. Kanjo instantly folded, but Zampas took some times to think things through. After one time extension, he called.
Karapanos revealed Q♠Q♥4♠4♣ for a missed flush draw. Zampas held A♥10♠9♠8♣ for two pair and took down the pot to extend his lead over the field.
