That brings an end to a long Day 2 of the $5,000 No Limit Hold'em event from the 2010 World Series of Poker where our field of 205 players has been reduced to our final two tables.
There were plenty of highlights and we lost plenty of big names along the way including James Akenhead, Brian Lemke, Tony G, Jason Mercier, Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Scotty Nguyen, Phil Hellmuth, Chino Rheem and Annette Obrestad who managed to sneak in for her first WSOP cash in the United States.
