It's the End of the Day as We Know It
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Day 2 of Event #32 is officially over and what a day it was! From the 362 players that started the day only 35 remain. Our chipleader is Dror Michaelo who had 876,000 at the end of the day. Although he flew under the radar for a good portion of the day his aggressive play helped him gain a lot of chips during the last few levels and will leave him in a good position coming into Day 3.
Notable names left in the field include Kyle Cartwright, Jakob Tostesen, Adam Geyer, Josh Brikis, and Adam Lippert, who was our chipleader at the beginning of the day.
Although we started the day with a number of notable players, a good majority of them hit the rail throughout the course of the day. Those that were eliminated include TJ Cloutier, Layne Flack, Eddie Blumenthal, Chino Rheem, Carter Gill, Amit Makhija, Brett Jungblut, Justin Young, Jared Ingles, Benoit Albiges, and Maxim Sorokin.
We still have one woman remaining in the field. Jamie Kerstetter has a chance to become the first woman this year to win a WSOP bracelet. She will start Day 3 with 147,000.
All the players left are guaranteed to take home a cool $15,000, but we're sure they all have their eyes set on the $668,276 and gold bracelet that will go to our eventual champion.
Action will resume tomorrow at 2:30pm in the Amazon room. Make sure to stay with PokerNews for all your WSOP updates!

Four More Hands
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
The tournament officials have just announced that the remaining tables will play four more hands each before calling it a night.
Brikis Takes a Hit
A short-stacked player limped from middle position only to have Josh Brikis move all in from the hijack. After the blinds both got out of the way, the short-stacked player shrugged and committed his 1250,000.
Brikis: 
Opponent: 
It was a flip for a pot worth 250,000. The 
flop kept Brikis in the lead, but the 
turn was disaster. Brikis shook his head as if to say, "It never fails." The 
turn changed nothing and Brikis' stack was essentially cut in half.

Cartwright Continues His Aggression
After a player raised to 25,000 from middle position, Kyle Cartwright moved all in from the cutoff for 222,000 total. The middle-position player thought long and hard before releasing his hand. Cartwright chipped up to 250,000, which is still below the chip average of 326K.

Latimer: 
Aron: 
The flop came 
, giving Aron some outs to chop the pot. The turn brought the 
, and Aron could knock Latimer out with a seven, six, or diamond, and could chop with a three, four, or two. Despite all those outs, Latimer survived when the hit the river, and secured the double up.
