Day 2d has come to a close and with 2,925,000 in chips, Zachary Ackley has claimed the overnight chip lead. Dennis Brinn is hot on his heels with 2,745,000 in chips, and Rick Trigg (2,695,000), Wilburn Hutcheson (2,620,000), Albert Bragg (2,500,000), and David Frenkel (2,450,000) round out the top 6. Bracelet winner Anthony Reategui also found himself high up the leaderboard with 2,355,000 in chips.

The day started with 2,110 returning players; by the time the last hand was completed that number was whittled down to 553 players, who will be joining the remaining players that survived the other three flights. A total of 1,597 out of the record-breaking field of 28,371 players have made it to the third day.

With 1,369 players making the money, James Ray managed to earn a cash without playing a single hand all day having never returned for Day 2d. By the time play was on the money bubble, Ray's stack had dwindled down to just 4,000, which was just enough to scrape into the money when the bubble burst.

There were many notables in the flight, including last year's Main Event final tablist Alex Lynskey (2,000,000), Eric "BarstoolNate" Nathan (1,945,000), James Calderaro (1,635,000), Joe Serock (1,550,000), Jeff Madsen (1,275,000), Alex Foxen (1,050,000), Harry Arutyunyan (930,000), Ravi Raghavan (905,000), Neil Blumenfield (735,000), Loni Harwood (635,000), and Eddy Sabat (355,000), all of whom will be returning for Day 3. Others such as Kelly Minkin and Massoud Eskandari cashed but will not be returning, with Minkin busting late in the day.

Day 3 will off on Wednesday, June 5, at 11 a.m. local time with the field finally joining for the first time, and the PokerNews team will be there from the first hand to the last, bringing you all the updates.
