Day 2 proved to be tough for the returning notables with John Dolan, Kathy Liebert, Allen Kessler, Andy Philachack, “The Captain” Tom Franklin and Kyle Cartwright all eliminated before the money bubble.
On the very last hand of the evening with most of the remaining players counting their stacks a giant hand developed. A million chip pot brewed when Mark Eddleman and Drewery got their big stacks all in preflop. Eddleman held pocket kings and Drewery had pocket queens. The board ran , eliminating Eddleman and handing Drewery a massive chip lead over the field.
During the late hours of the tournament players and spectators alike all had an eye on the Main Event action on ESPN2.
