Day 2 of Event #9: $1,500 Seven Card Stud[/B] is set to get underway at 2 p.m. local time in the Bally’s Event Center with 97 players remaining out of a large starting field of 329.

Manuel Labandeira of Madrid, Spain, brings a large stack of 281,500 with him into Day 2, which is almost 50,000 more than second place. He was several mixed game cashes on his resume and he will be looking to make another deep run here today.

Second in chips is Daniel Weinman with 233,000 and WSOP Bracelet winner Kenny Hsiung enters the day in third with 204,500. Jude Arena with 203,500 and James "Mailman" Paluszek with 175,500 round out the top five counts.

Several prominent players are still alive for Day 2. Among them is Alex Livingston who has a heathy stack of145,500, Tamon Nakamura who has 139,500 and also Kevin MacPhee who brings 104,000 with him into today.

Defending champion Rafael Lebron remains in contention for a repeat as he has a stack of 87,500.

Some other well-known players who will be looking for a Day 2 spin up include; Phillip Hui (60,000), Barry Greenstein (40,000) and Benny Glaser (22,500).

Just under half of the remaining players will make the money as the top 50 will claim at least a min-cash of $2,415. Of course, every player will want to position themselves as best as possible for Day 3 and a run at the grand prize of $103,282.

Day 2 will play with elongated 60-minute levels and continue through ten full levels of play before stopping to bag for Day 3. There will be a 15-minute break after every two levels, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 21 (~8:30 p.m.).

PokerNews will be on-site all day long to capture all the action as the remaining players look to make a run at Day 3.
