We're in the Money

380 players made it to Day 2; 128 remain.
In a bold move, the TD decided to quit for the night when we reached the money, so that's what we're doing. 128 down to 24 tomorrow could be a long one - although if we keep up today's pace of roughly one exit every two minutes, it might not take too long after all.
Chip leader as we head into Day 3 is young Scotsman David Vamplew. In the biggest pot of the tournament so far, he knocked out Paul Kristofferson with 
against 
on a flop to propel him to the very top of the rankings, the only player to break the million mark. Vamplew is at 1,130,700 - and as far as we can see, no-one else has over 650,000 or so.
Other folks still in the running include Arnaud Mattern, Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Teddy Sheringham, Benny Spindler and some guy called Phil Ivey. The official chip counts will be with us soon, so we'll be able to put exact numbers to faces shortly.
Everyone is now guaranteed £7,500, but that payday pales before the £900,000 up for grabs for first place. We'll be back here at noon when we'll be tracking the demise of most of the field until only three tables remain. Until then, it's goodnight from the Hilton Metropole.
