Short-Handed Action Resumes Shortly

Welcome back to Day 2 of Event No. 40, the $5,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event!

We saw a number of familiar faces, many known for their prowess at the tables, among the 732 who came out for yesterday's Day 1. And a lot of those tough, accomplished players will be returning today.

2010 WSOP November Niner Matt Jarvis comes back to the biggest stack, having crossed the 300,000-chip mark at the end of play on Thursday. He's followed closely by Randy Dorfman, with Daniel Negreanu and Eugene Todd both sitting nearby in the top ten. A total of 172 remain, with the top 78 finishers making the cash. (See the complete Day 2 table draw below.)

We're a little over an hour away from the start of Day 2, set to begin in the Amazon Room at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino at 2:30 p.m. Vegas time. Come back then to see who can make it through today's ten levels to get closer to that final six-handed table where over $2 million of the event's $3.44 million prize pool awaits.
