Well these guys are showing a lot of heart and with just a few minutes remaining in play today, it looks like all six guys will make day two.
Robert Smith, who is playing today, is currently at 38,000 and is in good shape to survive. The other five gentlemen to look out for on day two are; Frankie Gay (Father of Pruitt Rainey), Bill Sineth, Earl Holmes, Roy Swindle and Allen Kennedy.
Lets hope these guys can keep up the good work and make our fallen hero Pruitt Rainey proud.
