Full stomach means no more excuses!

The Casino Vilamoura served up a fine mix of Portuguese cuisine for players and PPT bloggers alike, so there can be few excuses for being off your game.

With a hearty meal inside them, our 63 remaining entrants are focused on reaching Day Two. We're expecting to carry 36 players into Sunday's play, but if the clock strikes midnight first - it's time to party.

We have free entry for all the 179 players who were here for the opening hand, as well as a few who missed it!

Among those was our mysterious chip leader at the dinner break; a certain Behzad Zarnegar, who having arrived in Vilamoura in holiday this weekend, found the ParadisePoker Tour on his hotel doorstep.

The German poker fan even took advantage of late registration to take his seat and now has nearly 100,000 chips!
