The PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa continues today with Day 2 of the $2,200 Eureka High Roller. Across yesterday��s two starting flights, a total of 1,374 entrants tried their luck on the felt, generating a prize pool of $2,610,600. Today, just 206 remain as we play down to a champion.
Having secured the chip lead on Day 1a, Mircea Flutur has also secured the overall chip lead with a stack of 739,000. Of the remaining contenders, Flutur��s calculated aggression throughout yesterday��s flight allowed him to be the only player in the field to eclipse the 700,000 chip mark.

A late-night heater saw PokerStars Team Pro Member, Fintan Hand, bag the fourth biggest stack in the room with 644,000; first, he eliminated Brandon Sheils when Hand four-bet bluffed ace-three into Sheil's ace-queen. Hand hit a three to win the big pot, after which he held with aces against Ryan Mandara's nines only a few hands later.
Other members of PokerStars Team Pro to join Hand include Ramon Colillas (246,000) and Kenny Hallaert (107,000), alongside EPT Main Event winners Lucien Cohen (378,000) and Arsenii Karmatckii (142,000).
Play will recommence in Level 16 with blinds at 2,000/5,000 with a big blind ante of 5,000. The action will play down until just one player remains.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be back tomorrow to bring you more coverage of the Eureka Poker Tour High Roller here at EPT Cyprus, so stay tuned.

With the news that the Power Path is now a permanent addition to PokerStars, and that players can receive a $0.50 Step 1 Power Path ticket every single day as part of the new PokerStars Rewards program, there's never been a better time to have a look at how the Power Path can reward you and where it can take you.
Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.
This month, we look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes for the NAPT festival in Las Vegas, the Women's Winter Festival and the European Poker Tour stop in Prague.

Manfredini got out of the way but Siena called with the covering stack.

Alessandro Siena: Q?J?
The 10?10?3?7?9? runout remained clean for Timergazin, and he doubled up to 23 big blinds.

Daniel Montagnolli raised to 12,000, receiving calls from both the blinds.
The 8?4?J? flop checked through to the 3? turn. Kirill Aleksandrov, in the small blind, led out for 24,000, the big blind folded, and Montagnolli called.
The 10? river saw a lengthy tank from Aleksandrov before he moved all in for around 115,000. Montagnolli snap-folded.
