Time to Close the Books on Day 2

Day 2 of Event #5 is in the books; and what a day it's been.
When we started early this afternoon, we were just a few eliminations away from reaching the bubble. Players who were fortunate enough to cash made the money rather quickly, and we were faced with a flurry of eliminations as short-stacks moved their chips in while hoping to double up or get into the next available event.
After some time, the pace slowed down to a crawl and we went for large periods of time without a single elimination. Of course, this allowed the blinds to increase, and eventually we were back to fast-moving poker with large pots and frequent eliminations.
Tournament organizers had hoped to play down to a final table, but after more than 12 hours of play we're going to pack it in for the night and return tomorrow to reach the bitter end.
Returning for Day 3 is our new chip-leader Vincent Jacques, as well as Praz Bansi, David Sands, Yuvai, David Tuthill and others. Of course, many notable names won't get to play for a spot at the final table, including Humberto Brenes, Antonio Esfandiarai, Adam Levy and Chris Moorman.
Tomorrow's filed will be loaded with younger players, many of whom have had success online leading into this year's WSOP. They're all hoping that they can parlay today's momentum into a win tomorrow.
