Day 2 Concludes
Ninety-nine players unbagged their chips some 13 hours ago as Day 2 dawned, and just 18 of them still have chips to bag up as the day concludes. Jamie Rosen began play with the chip lead, and he has ridden that big stack deep into the night. He bagged up 178,000 chips tonight, good enough to put him in the middle of the pack.
Over the course of the day though, two players really began to pull away from the field. Daniel Makowsky is now your chip leader, cramming 561,000 technicolor chips into the barely-big-enough thick plastic bag. Right behind him is Rami Boukai with 508,000, and those two men account for about 30% of the chips in play. After those two, there is a big gap back to the third place stack of Ben Grundy.
That being said, it's still clearly anyone's game. The remaining 18 players will return at 1:00pm tomorrow, and we'll plan to play it all the way out till the end. Hopefully by this time tomorrow night, we'll have our 10th WSOP bracelet winner of 2009. Until tomorrow, goodnight from the Amazon Room!
