Day 2 at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Warsaw main event saw 148 players return to their seats. The order for the day was to play down to the final 56 players, and it took just over four levels for that mark to be reached. Notable players who were lost along the way included Ludovic Lacay, Scotty Nguyen, and Team PokerStars pros Bertrand Grospellier and Marcin Horecki. Only five players from the United States entered the 2009 EPT Warsaw event, but at the end of day 2, two of them were in the top 10 in chips. Carter Phillips is in second chip-position with 299,800, and Shaun Deeb (pictured right) is in fifth place with 226,400. Canadian Clayton Mozdzen leads the way with 332,300.
