Another Day of Big Buy-In Action
Welcome back for Day 2 of Event No. 52: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em / Six Handed. Yesterday saw 191 of the best of the best take to the felt in some very furious action for ten levels of play. Emerging as the chip leader from Day 1 is Alexander Gruibem who bagged up 548,000 chips. Jason Somerville carved his own path and sits in second place with 516,600. Sam Trickett is also up there. Those three are the only players with more than a half a million in chips.
As you work your down the rest of the top ten counts to finish Day 1, you'll see a bunch of big names made their way to the top. McLean Karr, Isaac Haxton, Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda, Frank Kassela, Bryn Kenney, Mikael Thuritz and Dan Kelly round out that list. On top of that, we've still got Nick Schulman, John Duthie, Hoyt Corkins, Scott Seiver, Barry Greenstein and Phil Ivey in the mix, making for one heck of a Day 2.
Play is slated to begin at 2:30 p.m. local time with another ten levels of action to come. There was some talk of the structure being super fast for the first day of play, but many claim that it will slow down a bit today. There's going to be a 500/2,500/5,000 level thrown in along with a 2,000/9,000/18,000 level to help slow things down as the day progresses, but the antes do look somewhat large at certain points in the structure. We'll see how this plays out.
With 69 players remaining, we should get close to the money today or even burst the bubble at 18. We'll see you in a little bit for the start of Day 2.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 400
And Away We Go...

Keith Hawkins Eliminated
The U.K.'s Keith "The Camel" Hawkins came into play as the shortest stack and ended up being the first player to bust on Day 2. Scott Seiver was the recipient of his 38,000 in chips and is now sitting on 285,000.
Gargano Busts
From the button, Talal Shakerchi raised to 8,000. Anthony Gargano moved all in from the big blind for about 75,000 and Shakerchi called. Gargano held the 
and was flipping with the 
for Shakerchi.
The board ran out 
and Shakerchi's played to give him a better flush than what was on board. He eliminated Gargano and moved up to 282,000
Ooops I Broke It Too Soon
Table 376, which included Scott Seiver, Mark Ioli, John Duthie, and Kevin Saul, was just broken, however, Saul quickly discovered that the new seat he was re-directed to was still occupied. The floor scrambled to find an empty seat and discovered that they indeed had broken that table too soon. All of the relocated players were taken back to Table 376 where they re-took their old seats.
Unfortunately for John Duthie, he was moved to the ESPN featured table where he was four-bet out of a pot that cost him 20,000 in chips. Immediately after the hand, he was moved back to his old table... and seemed a little peeved about the situation.
Kenney Mis-Clicks
From the cutoff seat, Heather Sue Mercer raised to 8,500. Bryn Kenney called on the button and Jared Jaffee called from the small blind. The flop came down 
and action was checked by Jaffee. Mercer announced all in and then the dealer turned her attention from her over to next-to-act Kenney. Kenney stuck 4,500 out. He didn't hear Mercer announce all in as he had his headphones on. The dealer informed him what happened and then Kenney folded, losing the 4,500 he put into the pot. Jaffee also folded and Mercer picked up the pot.
"That'll cost me 4,500," said Kenney after the hand.
