We are down to 21 players at the Aviation Club de France and by Sunday, one of these 21 will become the Euro Finals of Poker Diamond Championship title holder.
The chip leader after Day 2 is Aubin Cazals. Cazals (2011 PTPR Rank: 1956th) picked up chips at a rapid pace on Friday, he will enter Day 3 play with a 351K chip stack.
A player to look for on Saturday is reigning EPT Loutraki Champ Zimnan Ziyard. Ziyard (2011 PTPR Rank: 72nd) sits fourth in chips and is a player that is expected to put a lot on pressure on his opponents once we get going on Friday.
Our two features from our Thursday post - Canada's Jonathan Duhamel (PTPR #1 Ranked Player) and the USA's Shannon Shorr took it on the chin on Friday.
Both players actually had a lot of chips during the mid-way point of Day 2 play - but, both players find themselves near the bottom of the chip count - both Duhamel (2011 PTPR Rank: 71st) and Shorr (2011 PTPR Rank: 149th) will need to makes early on Day 3 in order to join the lead pack.
