The second day of the €1,000 + €100 Main Event of the Unibet Open at the Casino Barriere in Cannes saw 121 hopefuls return to the tables, and after nine one-hour levels just 16 bagged for the showdown on Sunday. Start-of-the-day chip leader Julien Sitbon is still in, albeit among the short stacks, while Fred Weiss has taken over the reigns with 2,113,000 in chips.
Right from the start action was fast and furious, in fact 39 players had hit the rail within the first two hours. Among them was one of the three remaining former Unibet Open champions in Mateusz Moolhuizen, who had a roller coaster experience and ultimately lost a flip with queens versus ace-king.
