Day 2 of the $2,500 No Limit Hold’em event came to a close with 39 players remaining of the 291 that returned for action this morning. Thomas MIller is the resounding chipleader with 1,500,000, holding nearly a 600,000 chip lead over second place. He’s followed by Mikhail Lakhitov and Randy Dorfman in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
Advancing to Day 3 are notables Eddy Sabat, Tim Phan, Dwyte Pilgrim, David Pham, Nam Le, Marvin Rettenmaier and Tom Marchese.
The money bubble burst in the third level of play. Two players busted during hand for hand play, Jack Jacovou and Bradley Augsburger, they chopped the prize money for 171st – each earning $103.50 of profit. Eric Baldwin busted in 173rd becoming the bubble boy after the fact.
The day began with the field packed with notables and pros, but they did not fare well, with most finding the rail. Those that busted included Randal Flowers, Gavin Smith, Kunimaro Kojo, Dan O’Brien, David Diaz, Leo Wolpert, Tommy Vedes, Martins Adeniya, Terrence Chan, Jimmy Tran, Bryn Kenney, Stephen O’Dwyer, Chance Kornuth, J.C. Tran, Eric Baldwin, Anthony Yeh, Tomer Berda and Dani Stern.
Day 3 will get underway at 2:30 p.m. PST in the Blue section of the Amazon Room. We hope to play down to a winner but with 39 players returning they might play the allotted ten levels and return for a fourth day to crown a winner. Follow all the WSOP action live on Pokernews.com
