Day 2b Concludes; Onwards
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A whopping 2,924 players from Days 1c and 1d started today, and with capacity officially at around 2,800, the tournament directors were forced to drag out some extra tables to accommodate them all -- literally every poker table in the whole building was in use at the start of the day.
With the expected Day 2 carnage, we lost more than half our our field in eight hours of play. Among those who couldn't stand the pace were Erick Lindgren, Shannon Shorr, Victor Ramdin, Vanessa Rousso, Scotty Nguyen and Howard Lederer.
Among those who will be coming back for Day 3, though, we have such luminaries as Phil Ivey, ElkY, David Benyamine, Justin Bonomo and Dan Harrington. In addition, we have a new chip leader. Amir Lehavot has stacked 610,500 chips.
There will be a one-day rest break for everyone to psyche themselves up, so we'll be back on Friday July 10th at noon to see if we can't get this baby into the money!
