Welcome Back

Welcome back to the Rio for the 2010 World Series of Poker!

Yesterday, 1,245 entrants flooded the Pavilion Room with dreams of money stacks and WSOP gold. Now, it's Day 2 of Event #26: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed and only 156 runners remain.

William Haydon enters the day as our chip leader with 179,300 chips to his name. Following him are Luigi Caramatti (171,400), Timothy Begley (167,700) and Erik Cajelais (163,000).

There are plenty of notables still in the field including Cajelais, Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri (133,000), Andrew Robl (119,400), Jeff Shulman (112,400), Florian Langmann (111,500), Justin "Boosted J" Smith (87,600) and Daniel Negreanu (53,000).

There is also a former Main Event Champion in the field; Jerry Yang. Yang was the first player to eclipse six-figures yesterday and finished the day with 105,500 chips.

We are just 30 eliminations away from the money and the plan today is to either play down to a final table or until the players and/or tournament staff deem it too late to continue.

Regardless of the length of the day, we hope you join us for this and every event of the 2010 WSOP right here at PokerNews.com!
