Day 2 To Begin Shortly

donpeters

The 68 remaining players have begun to file into the room and find their seats. We're already in the money and the plan is to play down until the final table.

We'll be underway in a few minutes.

One big question remains about some pros such as Chris Ferguson, Erik Seidel, and Joe Hachem: Will they play super-aggressive and then scoot off to the H.O.R.S.E. event or will they go for the win here?
