It's a Wrap
1,476 players walked into the Amazon Room at noon today and only 630 of them survived to walk out again more than 12 hours later. In between, we saw some huge stacks develop and some big names slip out the door earlier than they'd like.
On the positive side of the ledger, Eric Cloutier ended the day with the big stack at 384,000. Seven other players also broke the 300,000 mark, including Ed Perry, Brandon Demes and Greg "FBT" Mueller.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, a number of well-known pros won't be returning for Day 3. Some of the day's notable bust outs included Gavin Smith, Amarillo Slim Preston, Mike Matusow, Dewey Tomko, Gus Hansen, Sandra Naujoks, Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly, Tony G. and Barry Greenstein.
Day 2b kicks off at noon tomorrow with a field almost twice as large as today's and, as always, we'll be there to bring you all the day's action.
