The 2009 iteration of the European Poker Tour PCA drew out 1,347 players, and with 32 remaining out of that massive field, which is mostly made up of fresh-faced online poker players relishing in that fact that you don't have to be over 21 to buy-in, poker pro and former fresh-faced Internet gun Kevin "BeLOWaBOVe" Saul is sitting comfortably in the chip lead.

With a $3 million first-place prize on the line, the field was jam packed full of familiar faces and well-known poker pros. Among those that managed to survive the bursting of the money bubble and go home from a nice trip to the beach with a little extra money were Max Pescatori, Mark Seif, Ylon Schwartz, Nenad Medic, Tom McEvoy, Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy, Barry Greenstein and a bunch of others that we are way to lazy to list out on a Friday.

Play gets back underway right about now down at the Atlantis Resort and Casino where it is much warmer than where we are sitting right now (*Must not be jealous*). At the pace this tournament has been moving so far, don't be surprised if they play down to the final table tonight. So, head back over here for more poker tournament updates and if you want to head where it's warmer – or at least better – than where you are, then check out Bodog Poker's Player's Choice promotion and qualify online for major poker tournaments.
