Day 2 of Event #17: $1,500 Millionaire Maker has concluded. A total of 1,174 players had made it to Day 2 out of a field of 5,330 across two starting flights. By the end of the night, the 1,174 hopefuls were whittled down to a mere 170 players remain, all looking to win the gold bracelet and a cool $1,000,000 in cash that awaits the eventual winner of this event.

Darryl Ronconi bagged 2,545,000 chips and is the chip leader going into Day 3. He was on the stone bubble with less than ten big blinds but managed to spin it up to end the day with the chip lead. His biggest career cash was a second-place finish in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Triple Chance event at the 2011 WSOP, which netted him $510,053.

A few former bracelet winners that move on to Day 3 include Ryan Hagerty (1,100,000), Tristan Wade (1,900,000),
Craig Varnell (765,000) and Brett Apter (360,000). Other notables such as Day 1a chip leader Yiming Li (595,000), Day 1b chip leader Stephen Song (1,300,000), and Vanessa Kade (1,590,000) will also move onwards to Day 3.

Day 3 starts at 12 p.m. local time on October 11 in the Amazon Room of the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The tournament resumes at level 22 with blinds of 25,000/50,000/50,000.
