Day 2 Ready to Go

Good afternoon and welcome back to the gently humming confines of the Amazon Room, where Day 2 is on the verge of restarting.

177 players made it through the day - not bad for eight levels of limit - but today our field is going to have to outdo that if they want to stand a chance of sticking to the schedule. The plan is to play down a final table table tonight, so we are in for a very, very long one.

Chip leader Jameson Painter, known to his friends as "Pumpkin" as we discovered when he finalled the $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event last year, has already had a good Series - he took 5th place in the $2,500 2-7 Draw Lowball just a few days ago. However, there are a fair few folks hot on Painter's tail, and it's anyone's game yet.

Play is due to resume at 3pm, around 40 minutes form now. So sit tight, and we'll bring you all the action, direct to your computer.
