Leading the remaining 480 players in the hunt for the €835,000 top prize is Iosif Beskrovnyy with 239,000 chips. He’s followed Vadim Belov (179,300), Jose Alastuery (177,500) and Luis Rodriguez (176,800).Chris Brammer heads the UK challenge with Chris Moorman, Andrew Teng, Roberto Romanello and Jake Cody all handily placed.Today’s action will see the field whittled down even further before the final table commences on Saturday.
