Day 2 Complete
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We began some 12 hours ago with 93 players, and all but eight have fallen by the wayside. Among the casualties of Day 2 were PokerStars pros Humberto Brenes, Vanessa Rousso, and Greg Raymer, as well as Mark Kroon, Alex Fitzgerald, Edward Sabat, Carter Gill, Mike Halioua, and start-of-the-day chip leader Jorge Gonzalez.
It certainly was a hard-fought battle for our final eight. Here are the players who have earned their ticket to the final table and the amount of chips they bagged up at the end of the night:
Alexandre Gomes - 763,000
Gylbert Drolet - 691,000
Jose Miguel Espinar - 675,000
Lisandro Gallo - 465,000
Alex Brenes - 457,000
Paulo Cesar Figueiredo Ribeiro - 281,000
Juan Jose Perez - 167,000
Sidney Chreem - 93,000
As the sole PokerStars pro remaining, Alexandre Gomes is the handicapping favorite going into tomorrow, but any of the other seven players have a chance to notch the upset victory. The chips are still being counted, recounted and bagged, and we'll have official chip counts for you shortly.
The final table is slated to begin at 12 noon local time, but we anticipate a bit of a late start. We thank you for following along with us today, and we hope you'll do the same tomorrow as we crown our champion in the 2008 PokerStars.net LAPT Punta del Este. Goodnight from Uruguay!
