Day Two Is All Wrapped Up!
327 players took to the felt this afternoon with the aim of firstly sneaking into the money, and then having a crack at the coveted bracelet, title of champion and $639,331 first prize.
Ivan Demidov, Thor Hansen, Kelly Kim, Neil Channing and Liv Boeree would all sneak into the money but would fall short of making day three. Joe Simmons would snatch the chip lead early and hold onto it for the majority of the day before Rico Ramirez and Jason Potter took over.
However when it was all said and done Simmons wrestled the lead back to sit atop the final 27 with 1,100,000 in chips, with Jason Potter (929,000) and Rico Ramirez (789,000) serious threats. With Marco Johnson (275,000) and Mehdi Alaei (505,00) still in the field, the Event 28 bracelet is well and truly up for grabs!
