The start of day 2 must have appeared like a dream to Jeremy Heartberg, as the extended late registration saw Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth sit down to his left and right. Heartberg got his share of fame as media rushed by to take pictures, but unfortunately he just ran out of chips and was eliminated by Hellmuth, who has doubled the stack since sitting down when the cards got back in the air.
Further recent casualties include Dan Zack and Marco Johnson.
