Day 2 Done; Luca Leads
After another six levels, Day 2 of the Season 5 LAPT Punta del Este Main Event has wrapped up. Roughly 77 players remain from the 375 that began on Day 1 and leading the pack is Ivan Luca. He bagged up 329,900 and is the only player to cross the 300,000 chip mark. Following him are Cristian Lopez (289,600) and Julian Menendez (270,300), meaning three Argentineans lead the way.
Team PokerStars had three players in the Day 2 field. Angel Guillen (197,200) and Nacho Barbero (132,900) will be back on Day 3, but Humberto Brenes will not. Also busting was defending champion Alex Komaromi, but his father Pedro is still in the field with 85,600.
Others that will be returning Saturday are Eduardo Santi (246,900), Ariel "ArielBahia" Celestino (166,000), and Bolivar "Ramux" Palacios (153,800).
Day 3 will begin at 1pm local time tomorrow, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews for all of the exciting action. Until then, good night from Punta del Este!
