Ronnie Bardah from Day 1
Ronnie Bardah only lasted a few hands here on Day 2 of the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event. He came into the day with just about 23 big blinds and found his whole stack in the middle preflop with two nines against his opponent's pocket aces. As if just an overpair wasn't good enough, the player flopped top set and then turned a full house to send Bardah to the rail.

The early calm and base rhythm of chip shuffling that usually starts a Day 2 has a few added sounds today. They're building the final table tv set behind a curtain at the back of the tournament room. So every minute or so, there's the loud metallic clang of construction or a quick burst of an electric drill. The players sitting right next to the curtain are less than thrilled, but those four tables will be the first to break.

Gavin Griffin and Allen Kessler
Today one-quarter of the main tournament ballroom is curtained off as the television production staff begins to build the "tv table" set. A side product is that there is less space in the room for poker tables.
Rather than send players off to the poker room again -- which created some mild controversy yesterday for a number of reasons -- today the tournament staff managed to procure space in an overflow ballroom next to the main tournament room. Fifteen tables are set up in that room.
Allen Kessler, who yesterday was one of the lead critics of several problems with the tables in the poker room, is at a table in the overflow room with (among others) Gavin Griffin and Phil Ivey. We can only imagine what Kessler might have said if he'd been sent off to the poker room again this morning.

Vanessa Selbst is looking to build on an impressive Day 1 performance.
It's another beautiful day in Uncasville, CT. Too bad for us -- we'll be inside the Mohegan Sun convention center ballroom all day for Day 2 of the 2010 PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun Main Event.
When we left off at the end of Level 8 last night, the starting field of 716 players had been reduced to 443. The top five counts at the end of the day yesterday are some names that might be familiar to you: David Williams (230,900); Vanessa Selbst (214,200); Denmark's Lars Bonding (177,100); Matt Woodward (165,500); and Brazilian Firas Massouh (157,000).
Today the schedule slows down somewhat, with levels increasing in length from 60 minutes to 75 minutes. It will make for a slightly shorter day, with only six levels played as opposed to yesterday's eight.
The action resumes just after noon local time, in about twenty minutes. See you then!
