Coming off a second place finish for $561,000, Matt Hyman has just taken his seat to the left of Daniel Negreanu. Hyman fell just short, losing a long heads-up battle to Nick Schulman in Event #1. Schulman has elected not to play this second event today, so Hyman will be looking to gain some ground in the battle for the Purple Jacket.

Bryn Kenney was one of the early casualties here in Event #2, but that doesn't stop him from looking to stay atop the GPL Player of the Year race.

Unfortunately for Kenney, with Koray Aldemir cashing in Event #1, he now takes the top spot off Kenney.
