We’ve just wrapped up play here on Day 2b and we’ve got 8 total bwin players moving on to Day 3, which kicks off on Friday at noon (with tomorrow an off day for the entire field):

Chiplieder85: 135,000
forsberg1979: 120,400
rikke2103: 100,400
NPKNicklas – 90,000
-Rex Cramer-: 50,600
Giando1973: 43,000
baddyrock – 32,200
goto11: 16,000
_Casino_: out
King_Dirk: out

Honorary Team member Jesse also survived the day, finishing up with 31,800 chips.

As far as big movers, Chiplieder85 had a nice last level to move well above 100,000 chips and take over the overall Team chip lead, and forsberg1979 finished the day strongly as well to bag up over 120,000 in chips.

goto11 is the only Team member who’ll be in the short stack danger zone when play resumes on Friday, but it’s better to return to fight again with a short stack than to needlessly bust at the end of the day, so at least he’ll hopefully have a puncher’s chance to get an early double up on Friday to get his stack out of the danger zone.

All in all a very successful day for the team, with 8 of our 10 Team members who started the day surviving to Day 3. Of the 2,924 players that started the day, just 1,486 survived so the 80% success rate of the bwin Team was well above the average for the field.

A great day overall for the bwin Team
