101 Return for Day 2
Welcome back to Day 2 of Event 40: $2,500 Limit Hold'em - Six-Handed!
Almost exactly one-third of the 302 players who entered this event survived yesterday's eight one-hour levels to return to chips today. Among the 101 players still alive, Vincent Gironda, Michael Reed, Andre Akkari, and Terrence Chan return to the biggest stacks, although there remain many challengers only a few small and big bets away from catching the leaders.
The top 36 finishers make the money in this one, earning the right to divide up the $687,050 prize pool. We'll likely reach the money at some point this afternoon or early evening as players work their way through today's schedule of 10 one-hour levels. First cashers will earn $4,046 for their efforts, but all are still eyeing that $182,088 first prize up top.
Play is set to commence about a half-hour from now at 2 PM local time. Come back then as we track the gradual slimming of the field as Event 40 marches toward the final table.
