115 Return For Day 2 of Event #33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em
It was a fast and furious day at the office yesterday in Event #33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em when the field of 1,688 participants was whittled down all the way to 115 only after 11 levels of play. The bubble burst at the very end of level 10 with two players sharing the min-cash of $2,005, then another 55 participants would hit the rail and head for the cashier before the night concluded.
Gualter Salles from Brazil has accumulated the most chips thus far with 170,000, while Sebastien Comel resides in second place (151,300) and Brad Libson in third (127,400) completes the overnight podium. Other familiar faces on the poker circuit got through the day with decent stacks as well, with Vinny Pahuja (121,200), Goran Mandic (110,000), Sean Jazayeri (101,300), and Dutch Boyd (93,600) all in the top 10.
Martin Finger started with just 10 big blinds after entering late at the dinner break, but succeeded in spinning that up to an above average stack by the end of Day 1, with Faraz Jaka another familiar face with decent chips as well. Further notables still alive include Dan Kelly (63,700), Ali Eslami (57,900), Pierre Neuville (43,200), Matt Glantz (39,700), Xuan Liu (39,200), Event #23: $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em sixth-place finisher Anthony Gregg (37,300), and David Peters (36,500).
All players already have $2,369 guaranteed for their efforts, but everyone is looking for the golden bracelet and first-place payout of $288,744. The second day will most likely either play 10 levels of 60 minutes each or until the official final table of nine has been reached. Play begins at 1 p.m. local time, so be sure to stick with PokerNews as we find out together who makes the final day of Event #33!
Play resumes at 1 p.m. Las Vegas time in the Amazon purple section with blinds at 600-1,200 and an ante of 200, PokerNews will be there to bring you all the dramatic action from the tables. The full redraw for day 2 can be found here.

Staszko Gone
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Martin Staszko returned today with only 8,300 chips and they have just run out.
On the first hand it was folded to Staszko on the button, he checked his cards and with a grimace folded.
On the next hand Severin Kock, sporting a German national football shirt, opened for 2,400 and Staszko moved his chips in. Brad Libson, one of the chip leaders, was next to act and he made the call. The action back on Kock, he pondered for a moment then folded.
Staszko then saw his 
had to beat the 
of Libson. He couldn’t do it as the board ran out 
, and the 2011 WSOP Main Event runner-up has been eliminated.

Malzanini's Hand Fails to Conect
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Robert Schulz opened for 2,400 and got a call from Jeremy Wing. Julius Malzanini then moved all in for just over 20,000. The decision was back on Schultz and after doing some counting he reshoved to isolate. Part one of the plan worked and Wing folded, and part two looked good as his was ahead of the 
of Malzanini .
The cards then ran out 
and Malzanini 's unimproved hand saw him head for the payout desk.
