Day 2 of the Event #1: $3,000 PokerGO Cup Showcase will take place today as the PokerGO Cup continues on inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
Leading the way into Day 2 is Sandeep Koralla, who spiked a river on Jonathan Little deep the Day 1b to bag that flight's chip lead. Next in chips is Day 1a chip leader Adam Bonilla, who is trailed closely by big stacks including bracelet winners Manig Loeser and Jim Collopy, as well as money bubble burster Daniyal Gheba.
Day 2 Top Ten Chip Counts

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sandeep Koralla | United States | 2,125,000 |
| 2 | Adam Bonilla | United States | 1,765,000 |
| 3 | Manig Loeser | Germany | 1,680,000 |
| 4 | Daniyal Gheba | United States | 1,680,000 |

Meanwhile, several top poker pros are in contention, including five-time bracelet winner Anthony Zinno, four-time bracelet winner David "ODB" Baker and Chino Rheem, who is coming off one of the best years of his lengthy career.
There's also a newer generation of grinders in the mix, and that includes Samuel Laskowitz, Clemen Deng and Natalie Ferguson. The poster children for the new generation of poker, Jeremy Becker and Landon Tice, meanwhile, were both eliminated on Day 1b.
Action will pick up at noon local time on Level 15 with blinds of 15,000/25,000/25,000 and will play to a winner. Prize pool information will be made available later in the day.
In addition to PokerNews live updates, the action will be live-streamed on PokerGO.
