Day 2 Almost Ready To Go
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 2 coverage of the 2011 PokerStars.net LAPT Punta del Este. After eight levels of play on Day 1, less than half the field remains as 188 of 422 players survived to return to take to the felt today. Leading the way into Day 2 is Juan Jose Perez with 197,500.
Perez is no stranger to success here at LAPT Punta del Este. He finished in seventh place during Season 1 and will most certainly be looking to improve upon that this season.
