Day 1b of the 2015 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final €10,600 Main Event saw 337 players take their shot at poker glory. Along with Day 1a's 219 entrants, the total field currently stands at 556, though it's bound to go up as registration is open until the start of Day 2.

After eight levels of play, 186 players remained with France's Romain Paon and his stack of 161,900 leading the way, which was a bit less than Jose Carlos Garcia, who was the Day 1a chip leader with 182,800.
