After two grueling Day 1 flights, a small Day 2 field of just 26 has returned to an event room at the Downstream Casino outside Joplin, Mo., for RunGoodGear.com's third tournament of the year.

Terry Presley and Ben Reason bagged identical stacks of 277,500 on their respective Day 1s, so they are the men to catch as the cards prepare to fly at 11 a.m. Other contenders include Issac Tucker, Ryan Tepen, Michael Sanders, David Murff, Chris Conrad, and Bernard Lee, though Lee is among the shortest stacks.

As Day 1a was cut down to 10 percent of its field with 30 minutes left on the clock in Level 15 (2,000/4,000/500), that's where the tournament will begin on Day 2. Whoever conquers his or her remaining opponents today will take home more than $36,000.
