Welcome to Day 2 of Event #36
![[user123189]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Players are slowly working their way to the tables as they get ready to play ten more levels en route to our final table on Wednesday. With 451 players left, we expect to hit our money bubble within the first two levels of play. After that, it's anyone's guess as to what we'll see before ten levels of play conclude.
It looks like Scott Montgomery is our chip leader. He'll be starting the day with just over 75,000 chips and is trailed by Bernard Ko with 70,100. Other players to keep an eye out for include Neil Channing (64,500), Liv Boeree (24,275), Marco Traniello (20,500) and more.
Stay with us through out the day as we bring you the highs, the lows, the bad beats, and the sick calls, all starting at 2:30 pm local time.

Let's Go!
Dealers have been instructed to shuffle up and deal. Cards are in the air, and chips are being shuffled.
Traniello Off to a Good Start
Marco Traniello started the day off by winning a modest pot after a board of 
was checked down. Traniello unenthusiastically announced that he had a flush and tabled 
to which his opponent replied, "Ah, you got there?" and mucked his 
face up.
Saout Defends His Steal
Antoine Saout raised from the hijack, and the player on the button three-bet him to 3,600. Saout took his time counting out a reraise to 11,675. That was enough to scare away Mr. Button, who showed his cards to neighbor Neil Channing before mucking.
Don't Mess With Boeree's Blinds
Liv Boeree was sitting in the big blind when action had folded around to the small blind, who raised to 1,800. Boeree wasn't about to let him get off that easy, though. She took some time and announced a raise before placing 5,200 into the middle, leaving just 13,500 behind. Her opponent tanked for a few minutes before finally folding.
Color Up Break
Players are on a twenty-minute break as we get rid of those pesky 25 chips.
A Note on Chip Counts
With large Day 2 fields, it's near impossible to get accurate chip counts on the entire field. We'll be updating the majority of notables we're tracking in the blog, and in the chip counts, but we won't have a full list until we start getting to a more manageable number, which is usually around 9-10 tables. Thanks for following the updates!
