Day 2 Concludes
The new honor of overnight chip leader will go to John Monnette. After a monstrous surge late in the day, he crammed 1,141,000 chips into the barely-big-enough thick plastic bag. Monnette has one final table under his belt already at this WSOP, and now he has his sights firmly set on another tomorrow.
Play will resume earlier than expected, at high noon tomorrow. The players seemed to want to argue the start time, but the tired eyes and weary legs pacified them enough to go along with the tournament staff. Once more, we'd like to sincerely apologize for our technical difficulties for the last few levels of play. The situation is beyond our control, and Harrah's assures us that the problem is being sorted out overnight. We'll see you at noon tomorrow!
