Those who fell by the wayside today included Devilfish, Gavin Griffin, Neil Channing and John Juanda, as well as reigning champion Glen Chorny and hiphop star Nelly. Those who have come out in fine shape for Day 2 however, include Ami Barer and Dag Palovic, who are both currently vying for the chip lead. They are closely trailed by Steeve "Not A Typo" Berdah, David Williams, Sandra Naujoks, Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Andy Bloch. Each are on very decent stacks and it's anyone's game.
Join us tomorrow at noon local time when the 500 or so remaining runners join together for the first time to see who will be glorious, and who will be spending the rest of the week on the beach.

and Binger check-called 6,000. The turn was the 
and action was the same, but 10,000. It was on the 
river that Shipley's all in move for 19,275 really sent Binger into the tank. WAY into the tank. It took six minutes for Binger to count out the chips, weigh them in his hand, remov his sunglasses, then his headphones, and pay off Shipley's

Liv No Longer Live
vs. 
. No spike of the overs and she's on the rail. "At least I can drink freely tonight," she said, looking on the bright side.
