Day 2 Concludes
Well, it's been a long night and everyone's feeling it. From the players to the media to the tournament staff. Finally though, Day 2 has come to an end and with 20 players remaining. Play lasted just nine hours today, but for many it seemed like days. It's just that time of the WSOP when things start to become a true grind. For a handful of those enduring the grind, they were able to overcome the exhaustion and push through to make it through the day to return to Day 3, keeping their bracelet hopes alive in this event.
Going into the final day, Nikolai Yakovenko will be the chip leader, bagging up 310,000 in chips. Not too far behind him is Matt Vengrin with 276,600. There's also still plenty of fire power left with big names such as John D'Agostino, Dario Minieri and Kirk Morrison.
All remaining players will return tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. local time to play down to a winner. Who's it going to be? Well, you'll have to tune back in to PokerNews to find out. With 20 players coming back, it's more than likely going to be a long day and night tomorrow so get ready for another endurance test. We'll see you all then.
