Then it was Nemeth's turn to hit the rail (€51,300) with Silva sending him there in an interesting hand. Nemeth then beat out Silva to win a large pot and eliminate Kazuyuki Tanemura (€40,200) in the same hand. Thomas Eychenne was first to go in the money, as he busted in sixth place (€31,200). He scooped a three-way pot with kings to not only knock out Jean-Vincent Lehut, but also take him over two million in chips - nearly half of all that were in play. However, he was deeply involved in the hand that burst the money bubble, which could be seen as the turning point in his tournament's trajectory. Silva didn't see it all go his way, losing a three-way pot with ace-king a couple hours into the day. Hungary's Andras Nemeth was the one setting the pace, knocking out several opponents on Day 2 including EPT Champion Steve O'Dwyer. However, the eventual winner wasn't among the chip leaders at that point in the day.
Silva's day started promisingly, busting out Jan-Eric Schwippert early on.
