$5,300 The Return ($3,000,000 Guaranteed) Day 2 | The Return - A Borgata Championship Event

The Return - A Borgata Championship Event in Atlantic City returns today with Day 2 of the $5,300 The Return. A total field of 1,142 is now down to 369 as the starting flights from Day 1a and Day 1b combine for the first time to battle it out.

Leading the chip counts to start Day 2 is Mukul Pahuja, who brings in with him an impressive 435,000, which is good for well over 200 big blinds to start the day.

Behind him the top five comprises of; Chinmay Patel (378,000), Adam Adler (366,500), Dusti Smith (355,500) and the recently on fire Stephen Song (323,000) who rounds out the top five counts.

There are several big-name players with big stacks who will compete on Day 2. Including Dan Zack who has 305,500, Darren Elias with 276,500 and Joe McKeehen with 212,500. As well as a few others who are on the lower end of the chip counts, such as Anthony Zinno with 77,500.

The remaining field is also made up of several Borgata locals who will be looking to make a big name for themselves today as they plunge deeper into this event.

Levels on Day 2 will be 75 minutes long. The plan is to play through level 20 with a dinner break following Level 16. The levels will extend to 90 minutes on Days 3 and 4

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand throughout Day 2 for all of the updates
