We are at the close of day two of the 2010 Poker Stars EPT from Vilamoura in Portugal. This is the seventh season of Europe’s biggest poker tour and the second leg of this year’s event. The tour began on August 11 in Tallinn, Estonia and will finish sometime in the spring of next year at a place yet to be determined. Every day it seems new cities and counties find favor with the game of poker and everyday new stars are born on the tournament circuit.

According to the sponsor’s events, the leader board for the Vilamoura leg of the tour is as follows:

Leonid Bilokur who holds the top spot at the end of the second day of play won his place in the tournament by playing a qualifying game online. These games are still playing and you can either play a qualifier or register for an event at pokerstars.com.  Hey if you happen to plan on being in one of the destinations anyway why not try moving your game from the online world to the real world.

You never know, you may just finish the day at the top of the chip leader board.
