Cards are in the air for Day 2.

One note on the field: Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari came through Day 1 with 105,900 chips, good for 13th place to start Day 2. Akkari posted to Twitter this morning that his father passed away last night. As a result he is returning to Brazil today and will allow his stack to completely blind off.

A Second Day of Peruvian Poker Pandemonium

Chip leader Daniel Ospina

Welcome back to the Miraflores district of Lima, Peru for Day 2 of the 2011 PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour Peru Main Event. When the action left off last night after a crazy Day 1 where no player held the chip lead for more than a level, the field was a third the size it had been to start the day. 116 of the 350 registered players still had chips. Their ranks were headed by a Colombian (by way of the USA) named Daniel Ospina, whose 264,200 chips were almost 100,000 more than the second-place player, Lisandro Gallo.

Today the field will consolidate by another 80%. The cards will be in the air at noon local time (in about 20 minutes) and will fly until only 24 players -- three tables of eight players each -- remain in the field. We anticipate that it will be a shorter day than yesterday's 10 levels, perhaps taking seven or eight levels to reach that point.

However long it takes, PokerNews will be on the floor to provide semi-live updates.
