Moving Day!

Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for Day 2 of WSOP Event #38!

From 2,192 players, we're now down to just 298 - just 82 bust-outs from the money. The man who leads them all is Jonathan Spinks, who already has an impressive resume. Known online as "EMSBas", Spinks has racked up over $2.2 million in earnings, as well as almost $300,000 in tournament cashes since 2007. But it should be noted that he's already picked up three WSOP, with two of them being final table appearances this year!

Spinks comes back today with 113,600 in chips, but Gabriel Alarie (122,800), David Rounick (121,200), Josh Mancuso (108,700) and Thomas Lutz (106,800) will be hot on his heels. There's still plenty of star power in this field too, including such names as 2010 WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel (13,500), Melanie Weisner (55,600), Bernard Lee (19,200), Sam Trickett (45,300) and Justin "Boosted J" Smith (32,300).

The cards will be in the air at 2.30pm PST (GMT -7) so stay with us here at PokerNews as we bring you live updates from the Amazon Room. Let's make it happen, cap'n!
