Welcome back to Day 2 of Event #41: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (Six-Handed) where just 117 action-loving Omahalics will return for another day's worth of four-card hands and intense short-handed play.
That group survived a starting field of exactly 400, which means the total number of chips in play is precisely 6,000,000. Of the 117 players left, Sorel Mizzi currently possesses the most chips of anyone with 146,400. But right now that's only 2.44% of the total, and so Mizzi and everyone else has quite a lot left to do to make tomorrow's final table and have a chance at earning some WSOP hardware.
Others returning to big stacks today include Chad Brown, Peter Charalambous, Matt Giannetti, Juha Helppi, Davidi Kitai, Shaun Deeb, and Phil Galfond. Freddy Deeb, Sammy Farha, and Andy Bloch are also among the group with above average chips — i.e., more than 1% (60,000) of the total.
There will be lots more calculating of percentages today as players weigh their chances of surviving with their made hands and draws today. Play begins a little over an hour from now at 2 p.m. local time, and we'll be here again from start-to-finish to find out who makes the final 42 and the cash, then who remains left to try to grab all 100% of those 6 million chips and the next 2013 WSOP bracelet.

Will "The Thrill" Failla began the day 117th out of 117 in chips. Before play began, he took to Twitter to describe his plight:
I'm the shortest stack of day two in the 5K PLO at the WSOP. We start at 2 pm. I think it's TIME FOR A STORY !Follow @WILLFAILLA
The story has begun well for Failla, as he's earned a double on one of the first hands of the day.
After a Brant Hale open from under the gun, Failla reraised all in and when it folded back around to Hale he called. Hale had and Failla , and when the board came the Failla's first chapter ended well.

A nice first half-hour for Daniel Negreanu here in Event #41. Early on he managed to win a big one versus Phil Galfond in a hand in which both players had been dealt , but Negreanu managed to make a flush. And just now he added still more after a hand in which he knocked out Erik Cajelais.
The latter hand began with an early position limp by Tony Cousineau, then Negreanu raised to 3,000 from the cutoff. Both Cajelais (button) and Cousineau called, then the flop came . It checked to Negreanu who bet 5,500, Cajelais called, and Cousineau stepped aside.
The turn then brought the and a pot-sized bet of 21,200 from Negreanu. Cajelais counted up his remaining chips to discover he had but 100 more, and the pair joked for a moment about him saving the extra chip and just calling. Finally Cajelais put it all in, though, and Negreanu called.
Negreanu:
Cajelais:
Aces again for Negreanu. The river brought the to knock out Cajelais, and Negreanu suddenly rushes past the leaders into first position.
