Day 2 Action
Only 62 players returned for Day 2, including John Carr, who final-tabled the 2023 Bar Poker Open Championship and John Dennehy who finished sixth in last year's edition of the event.
The tournament's structure set a quick pace, with a fury of bustouts occurring within the first few levels of the day. All the way up until the final table was set, players were getting eliminated left and right.
Angelo Gambrelis, the overall chip leader heading into Day 2, made a deep run but was eliminated in 13th when his ace-seven ran into Fienbergs' ace-ten.
Day 1a chip leader Vincent Loria fell just shy of the final table when he got it all in with king-jack against Barry Fagan's ace-ten and exited in 11th.
