The second and final day of the $2,200 High Roller at Choctaw Durant is now upon us, with 21 players returning at noon local time to play down to the eventual winner, who will claim the first-place cash as well as a shiny new ring.

Registration is still open until the start of play and the event should be adding a few more runners before the cards hit the felt, adding to an already impressive prize pool.

Coming into the final day atop the chip chart is Jeremy Joseph with an impressive 343,000 chip count. Joseph is a New York native that has amassed almost one-million in career WSOP earnings with one ring and looks to add another.

Many familiar faces remain in the field including Peter Walsworth (273,500), Marvin Rettenmaier (255,000), Nick Yunis (254,000), Carlos Guerrero (190,000), Brian Altman (184,500), Adam Hendrix (159,000), and Gediminas Uselis (155,0

00).

Day 2 Schedule

Play will restart at level 16 with blinds of 2,000/4,000/4,000. Levels are 40 minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every three levels and a dinner break depending on the length of play and players' needs.
